    Is there a time limit after which you can't change the thread titile? I dropped the price in a posting I have in the classified and I dont' have the 'edit thread' option like you usually have on vbulletin sites.

    thanks

    30 days is the magic number I do believe. After that, contact one of us to take care of it for you.

    I've noticed that even within that 30 days, edits to the title will show up in the thread once opened, but the changes never show up in the thread listings. E.g. if I title a thread "ABC", that's what shows up forever more in searches and "new threads" clicks, even if I change the title to "ABCD" within 30 days or even one day. "ABCD" will only be seen after somebody has already clicked into the thread.

    Thoughts on this one?

    that would be because, for whatever reason, you actually have to change the title in the forum view. To do this, you double click next to the title of your thread in the forum view, which should open up an editable text box, where you can change it.

    I am having the same problem. However, when I click beside my thread title in the forum view, nothing came up. Am I doing something wrong here? :meh:

    is the thread over 30 days old? Make sure to double click, not just click...other than that, I'm out of ideas, PM me if you need more help.
