I just tried it and the feature does work.

Are you editing the FIRST post of the thread? It will only work if you edit that one. If you edit any of the subsequent posts, it will only edit the title of that individual post.

Yes, the first post.
But I don't want to edit the title of the post.
I want to edit the title of the whole Thread.
I've tried everything I can think of, but there seems to be no feature that enables members to edit a Thread title.
Maybe mods have the ability?....

Thanx much,

Tony, of course it works for you, you're a moderator

I tried it and it didn't work for me (as a regular member). For now I guess you'll have to PM the mods for a change in thread title. Unless Titus knows how to do it.

it's probably a permissions setting set for each forum and each level of group member.

Ok, figured it out. There is a time limit for which thread titles can be changed. It was set at 5 minutes. So if you edited the thread right away, it would work, but after 5 minutes you cannot change the title in the index, only the individual post.

It seems as if we cannot disable this "feature" altogether, I set it to 0 minutes and suddenly we couldn't change thread titles at all anymore.

So ... I've changed it to 24 hours. If you have a change of heart about a thread title, have it within that first day after posting. Otherwise.. seems we're stuck with the title as-is. Sorry..

Thanx guys, for your time, effort and interest in this.

Thanx, Christy, for the thread title change.

Good luck in what you guys discover, regarding this.

I know I'll be using more thought in selecting a forum for new threads, from now on, in attempts to avoid this.

Thanx again and cheers,
