Title change post ID (How Lowe can you go ;) )

Wolflore · 05-05-2010, 10:38 PM

Just been on The Tortoise Table site. They ask people to change the title of the thread in the ID section from "please ID this weed" to the name of the weed that was identified. That way people can see multiple photos in various situations. People will still ask, but the site will build an amazing database of plants for folk to browse. What am I saying!? They'll still just post rather than researching first anyway!!

Just a thought.

That is a really good idea. Ask the question then turn it into an answer, and build up a data base

That is an excellent idea Anthony

I've start, but am just adding what it is to the title.

I tried doing one of my own posts but the title didn't change! Only the title in the thread changed, not the title of the thread. Why is this?

Linda, I tried to change a title and like Wolflore couldn't do it

Sure you will be able to "fix" it cos it would be great for the thread Wolflore suggested

I'm sure only moderators can change it, is that not right?

I've just tried it on my 'Coming soon' thread and you can change the post title in 'Advanced' but not the thread title. Is that not because if the thread titles were being changed they would not come up in searches or on Google though?
