I write a thread....post it...decide I want a better title after the fact.
So I click on 'Edit Thread'.....go to 'Advanced editing mode'....and go up to box where it says "Edit Title". Add my new title and hit "Save".
Refresh the page and find Title hasn't been changed in the least!!! The only place where the new titlle comes up is as a bold-letter "sub header" in the text itself. That's NOT what I consider the "title".
What's up with that?

Why doesn't the "Edit Title" function in Advanced editing mode doesn't work?

try it again.
Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

Nope....still the same. I just tried to edit the title of the THIS thread to "Why doesn't the Edit function....." but to no avail. Well, the edited version DOES show up as a sub-heading in the text part of post...just like the titles usually show up there(it's up there now), so we can edit those....but the edited title still doesn't show up on the main forum contents page.

No biggie, I'll just more studiously pick my future titles.

You used to not be able to change anything. I changed it so you could edit the title but it still only allowed users to change the subtitle. Never could figure out why I couldn't get it to work correctly.

i think it is working, but only for threads started after the setting was changed. Somebody give it a try?

You fixed it. I tested it for you because admins could always change them without issue.

cool, thanks for the test.
fyi, right now it is set to allow title changes for 24 hours after it's posted. Let us know if that becomes an issue, but seems like for the most part mags will notice mispelings or badly grammar within that time...
edit: you do have to go to 'edit' then 'advanced edit' to do this.Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown

I think 24 hours is probably plenty!
