Issue with renaming threads - time limited URL check

[Karen]

I want the privileges and menu bar.

You should have them, they are the same for all registered users, and all threads, at least they should be! There are not "archived so un-editable" threads. What do you see in the drop down menu for "Administrative" when you click there?

[phesina]

I'm curious: I don't seem to have an "Administrative" , or for that matter, any of that menu bar, at top right or anywhere.

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!

Apparently not. What is interesting is that I am able to edit ones I have posted recently. hmmm.

Hmm, can you give me a screen shot? This is puzzling!

Not needed. I edited the one about Lucy Lou. It worked. The Edit screens were no different for other threads. I don't know what the time limit is. Somewhere in the permissions or code itself is a time limit for editing titles.

"View First Unread" 'Thread Tools" "Search Thread" "Display"

I have never used the menus. I didn't know I could edit there.

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!

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

Always use that method. It works for the very recent threads, but not ones from three months back. I never log out. But resetting cookies might be a trick. I'll let you know.

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

[Jessika]

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.

[mrspunkysmom]

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.

Glad you posted that, it is just peculiar that some of us can, and some cannot, and it does not seem to matter how old the thread is! I know things are different for me, as I am a moderator, but your privileges are the same as far as I can to every other registered user!

I'll get this to Paul, who handles the harder coding side of things, of course!
