Default Changing thread title

I have asked in the bugs section but now the post seems to have been removed.

How do i change the thread title on a resto? It won't work how it used to work.

You still can - just double click in the area where the thread title/link is (but not the title/link itself) and it opens a box where you can re-type the thread title. Hit enter, and you're done.

Odd one that mate.
It works exactly how Matt has shown you. And ive checked restor forum, it works fine.

Will ask Joseph to take a look for you mate.
In the meantime, what topic is it, and what title do you want?

That's really weird. At first I thought maybe it's a problem with that specific forum not allowing you to do it, so I created a test thread in there and tried it


I can edit the thread title from both the "threads started by" search page as well as directly in the sub-forum itself. I tried it alongside a thread in a different sub-forum too, just to be sure.

(ps, you can go ahead and delete my thread in the Resto area, I'm not planing on doing a resto anytime soon!)

That's very odd. It can't be operating system as this worked when I was on XP and does now I'm on MacOS. It can't be sub forum specific as I can change in all forums. And it can't be user specific as you can change in some sub forums but not others. Very odd indeed.
