Jon_J · **How to edit thread title? -** 09-14-2009, 04:49 PM

I made a post with a wireless connection problem, then after a few days I found a solution.
Nobody made any replies to the thread, so I edited the title of the thread and put [Solved] in front of the title.
How do I make this show up in the thread list? Or is it even possible?

Thank you,
Jon

Sorry not quite sure I get you.

Were you able to edit the thread title or not? Did it not show up in the thread list after?

Hhmm.... I tried to do what [I think] he wanted to do on a 1st post in a thread I started & wasn't able to do it. (Edit the title of post that started the thread?)

It seems like you can edit the title of every post, except the first one when you start a thread? ???

No, it only appears after you click and open the thread.
Here is the thread title as it appears under Dell Mini 10 Hardware Issues / Problems subsection:
10 Mint 7 XFCE Broadcom 4312 wireless woes, any help?

I edited my post, (I'm the only one that posted to this thread)
The title in bold at the top of each post shows this:
[Solved] Mint 7 XFCE Broadcom 4312 wireless woes, any help?

When someone looks in the above subsection, they cannot see the addition I made, "[Solved]"
I just thought it would be helpful, if a solution is found and posted at a later date, that one could tell if that particular problem is solved without opening the thread.

Here's a link to the thread:

Thank you,

Go to Edit --> Advanced

I think that should do the trick, shouldn't it

*EDIT* : experimented to find out it does not... hmmm

Maybe we could implement prefixes that users can attach to threads. Once something is solved they could go back in and simply edit the post to have the "solved" prefix

#ok I see what's going on. It's just the post title getting edited not the threads title.

Updated the thread for you for now...

I had the same problem "Windows 7 Killed my 11z" in the 11z thread.

Editing the title would edit the URL which would be bad for SEO.

I might add some global thread prefixes, but even then they can't be changed either!
