Editing topic titles?

Post by Zelandeth »

Wondering if I'm missing something obvious here...

I've got a long running fleet blog, and the title has historically been changed now and then to reflect vehicles that have come and gone.

Pretty sure this used to be done just by editing the first post in the thread...but I can't for the life of me find the option to edit older posts now. Are they now locked after a set period of time?

If so, is it now a case of asking a moderator to make the change?
Current fleet:
06 Peugeot Partner Escapade 1.6HDi, 88 Renault 25 Monaco, 85 Sinclair C5, 84 Trabant 601S, 75 Rover 3500, 73 AC Model 70.

Yes the older posts are locked Zel after a short period to prevent people going back and deleting historic posts that could ruin a thread.

Most people with bloggs just change the title from a certain post onwards when it is relevant to do so. The thread then takes on the new title from that point.

If you want the thread title changed (which will change the blog title of the first post, please let me know and I’ll sort this, so it changes the blog title and any new posts added from now onwards. Obviously I can’t go back hundreds of posts and change each one though as it will be impractical to do so.
