I think there is a time limit on renaming threads. Are the older ones archived? Or under a different version of php? I was able to rename Lucy Lou's thread but not Kallie's. I tried several different ways.
I know I said I didn't care any more, but I really I trying to teach Ollie some patience now.
This URL looks the same as the one is the other thread, so the point is why can I change this one and not the other one?

You can rename Kallie's thread - hit Edit Thread (not edit post) under the menu bar ... what would you like it to say?
I'll try it again
Okay, let me know!Quote:

My menu bar at top right (?) has Thread Tools, Administrative, Search Thread, and Display. None of the drop-down menus have and EDIT option.
I can edit it for you, what would you like it to say? Just Happy Gotcha Day #3?Quote:

What do you see above the green(or Blue depending on which setting you use) bar? I have a grey bar with "Thread Tools, Administrative, Search Thread, and Display like mrspunkysmom, but also have Inline Mod, as I am a moderator. I know I have more privileges than a normal user under Administrative, but the person who posts a thread should always be able to edit it!Quote:

Try this: Below the message, hit Edit Post. THEN hit Advanced.
You should be able to change the title then. :)
Let me know if this helps.
This afternoon after I logged in, I went to open threads using the "Open link in new tab," which I always do.
This time, I was finding that I had to log in again in every one of those.
Now what?
Sis you turn off "accept cookies?" The "cookie" is a little bit of code that lets Pet Tal;k know you are you, and logged in!Quote:

I didn't touch anything to turn off the cookies.. that I know of, anyway. Could I have somehow accidentally done that? How DO you do that?

That's how I've always changed thread titles. Works fine!Quote:

My browser is Chrome. I log off when I finish and then log back on the next session.

Didn't work.
Edit: Candace try it on your own threads. Go back to December, then back a few years. Let us now what happens
I just attempted to edit the title of a post I made in 2008 and was able to do so, so I don't believe there is a time limit on being able to edit post titles.
You must go to the FIRST post in the thread, the original one you made, click "edit post", then go to "advanced". You will then have the option to edit the title.
Thanks, Jessika - I obviously have different privileges than regular users, so it is good to know that it works for other people, too!Quote:

I think it would be really nice if we could see our own permission levels.
There is no difference between your account and Jessika's for example, in terms of Permissions.Quote:

I just tried with mobile and the result is no different. It's not my computer. The only thing that will resolve this for me is i need to be able to do what other members can doQuote:

I wish I could sit over your shoulder and watch what you are doing and what you see, as your permissions are exactly the same as every other registered user, I promise!Quote:

I accessed the Internet on the phone and can also use this format. It's a bit small and I have to enlarge, but I get the same results.Quote:

We are looking into it, it looks like I can change the thread title for that old thread when I am logged in as you under Chrome, but it only changes the post title. Paul is going to look into this!Quote:

I found this.

In reading this I discovered that the limit is from 5 minutes to two years depending on the settings. OS my question is why are some able to edit further back.
