How do you edit an already posted thread?

Can't seem to find where to change posts on the forum. Anyone?

If it's your post go down the page to where you would normaly post quick reply and there will be an edit with an arrow "click". Do your editing and go back down and "click" save. "I hope I said this right."

Thanks, didn't see it there....won't let me change title though. Strange.

You might want to post a moderator, and have them help you change it.

Did you go to advace? I can mod it there, but that might be becasue I am a moderator..... check there and see if you can mod the title yourself...

As an fyi titles of threads cannot be edited by members nor should they be changed by mods after they have been up for more than 30 minutes. It breaks links in the search engines. That's why that option is not there.

One thing that should be changed about the title (and should not affect the search engines,)is making the title BOLD. My title was not bold, and I've tried to change it but it hasn't worked. Actually, I think the ALL TITLES should be BOLD as a default. Is there anyway you can do that with this new software? Thanks, Breezie

You can't put bold or italics or any other formatting option into the title. The software uses bold/nonbold as a means to identify new or not new posts, so that can't be changed.

However, we are discussing letting users edit the thread title.
