Editing thread titles does not always work.

[Negative Boost]

Hey guys, this has happened twice to me know.
Like i've started a thread and then a couple days later or weeks, months, whatever, i want to change the thread title. So i do and it changes the title in the first post but does not change the actual thread title. I have an example here below of one i tried to change just tonight.

The title was origanally "MA61 and JZ/MA70 Parts" and i changed it to "MA61 F Series DIFF $200 & MA61 and JZ/MA70 Parts". As you can see below the first post title is changed but not the thread title.



Any answers why this is happening? Am i missing something?

Cheers
Sam

Sam,

There is a time limit on the threads so once it reaches a certain age then you,yourself cannot change the title. And looking at the date that thread in the picture was started that falls into the "too old for me to change" category.

If you pm me with the link and what you want it to be called I can fix it for you.

here you go Sam,
This may explain it better

I assume the issue is the age of the thread. Vbulleting does not by default allow editting of thread titles. It does have a setting to allow the titles to be editted for X amount of time. In doing this it "tracks" every thread that is edittable, adding load and slowing down the server. I have enabled this for I think 3 months of editting time from memory.

If you really need a thread renamed feel free to PM an admin or a moderator of the section the thread is in and the can get it sorted for you.

Thanks guys. I probably wont worry about it, becuase as soon as the diff sells it will need changing again and i'll just have to hassel someone again.

Thanks for the explanation too Kirsty and Josh.
