Ability to Change Thread Titles

[Drizzle]

I request that the owner of a thread be able to change the thread title, for multiple reasons. Such as notifying in the title that there has been an update in the thread, if there is a new raffle going on, or simply if they want to revamp the thread in its entirety.

They can't change how vBulletin works, and with vB, that's typically a moderator feature. Well, technically, they can change the limit, but most admins are too weary to change the limit. In fact, I've never seen an admin allow anything above 5 minutes, which is the default setting.

It's best to change the title during the 5 minutes after you submit the thread, though I understand that isn't the case with updates...

Why can't you request that a moderator update it?

Bumping the thread is an easier way to this rather than changing the title but it's possible to modify the time limit to change the title. I've been on some vBulletin forums that allowed people to change the thread's title whenever.

Yep, that's what I said.
I mean, it'd be nice, but I understand why they've kept it at 5 minutes, because I know I'd never change it; it's just too risky.

It would be nice to have a reply on this, though...

I thought you could change the title? I've done it before. Just edit the original post in advanced mode and change the title. I changed it on one thread before because of a spelling mistake and it changed it. Is that no longer an option now?

You can change it, but only for 5 minutes after you've posted the thread.
That is, unless they changed the limit and none of us noticed...

Oh if that's the case then that's probably why... I caught the mistake a few mins after posting it. Didn't realize there's a time limit for it.

I would like to see this option as well. On the Disboards, we would do this when a trade was complete or no longer being offered.

I would like this as an option also when we want to let others know that the thread has been updated. I don't want to bother staff since they have other/more important things to do.

This was implemeted today

You have up to 1 day after posting a thread to edit the title!
