When I went in to change the name of the topic for the cruise this sunday, (which is under general in an attempt to get some people to see it)
It will let me change the name, but it won't let me save it......

hmmmm,

can do write down what happens? ie step by step, error messages etc.

blah blah.

i have managed to change a title i think. i might have imagined that though.

I go in to moderate topic. I change the name, but there is no button to save changes made.... no errors, just can't even get it started to get errors, if you know what I mean....

hey there, i figured out your problem.

you are a girl.

WHACK! i didnt mean it! im sorry, that comment kinda flew out before i could stop it. WHACK! THUMP! i repent, i repent!

1)instead of going into the moderator page, click on the 'edit' button (top right) on the very first post (made by you).

2)then it will take you to an edit screen where you can change the title and content of that first post.

3) type in a new title for the topic at the top, then click submit at the bottom. voila! it is done.

Thank you, never thought of doing it that way

i have to admit it took me a couple of goes to figure it out.

i thought only moderators could change topic titles, but it looks like anyone who starts a thread can change the title too.

thats what I thought too, I just assumed I had to used the moderating section of it. Having said that, you added test & you didn't start the topic, or is it just because you the computer wizzard??

whoops,

i forgot about this one. you know the drill:

-what are you doing step by step?
-what happens?

ok, I click on moderate, then go into the topic I want to edit, but there is no way of editing, the only option it gives me is splitting the posts & changing where the topic is located.

seems like the same problem as you were having before: you should be able to go straight to editing the post, without touching the moderator menu. your status as a moderator should let you edit anyones post.
