"Edit function"

I started the thread "We've got a Blackhawk down, we've got a Blackhawk down.".

I made a typo in it. I was able to go back to the thread and change the title.

Before someone cries bullshit, I've noticed that in the threads I've started if quotation marks are in the title I was able to change the title.

Also, I noticed if the text was shown in the subject line I was able to alter the text.


Personally, I think it's a loophole created by the Clique for Ishmael's master plan of finding the "clit".

Glam you crack me up, sometimes!
 
Hrmm. I know you can change the subject line if you're within that first x number of minutes (the same time frame in which the "this post was last edited..." line does NOT show.).

Are you sure that what you're finding isn't a factor of time as opposed to quotation marks?

Do me a favor? Take the period out of the subject line for this one. (and yes, you may call me doubting thomasina)

I believe that you mean quotation marks rather than parentheses.

It's probably in how they handle strings.

I did say quotation marks.

It changed in the subject line but not in the thread title.

Well it did work. I made the change approximately 5 minutes after I noticed it.
 
grr. I still don't see any change. The thread subject line is still "Edit function." and so is the subject line in the first post.

Where did you think the change occurred, heavystick?

No, there is no period in the subject line of the first post of this thread.

Look at my first post now. :)
 
hehhehe! Ok, I see it in the first post subject line now (and have you ever heard the song "temporary lesbian" by The Uninvited?), but it didn't change the thread subject line at all.

ok, so that's cool. But doesn't it let you change the subject line on the first post even if you don't have quotes in it?
 
After a minute or two your ability to change your thread title disappears. You may only change it within your post, as it appears at the top of the page, but on the Forum page it won't change.

Gotta be quick.
