The Title of one of my Threads

**Doombringer** · 2010-08-26, 06:41 AM (ISO 8601)

Hello I am having a bit of trouble with one of the titles of my threads I had some players leaving and wanted to change it from closed to new interest to looking for replacements..I went to the first post to do so..while the title is changed once you open the thread ..it is still the same on the thread board...any idea why?

Is the thread older than 30 days? That would mean only a mod can change the title of the thread.

**Doombringer** · 2010-08-26, 07:02 AM (ISO 8601)

That might be the issue..

Nope should have a few days :(

**Zeb The Troll** · 2010-08-26, 07:40 AM (ISO 8601)

The time limit is actually 28 days. I think you've just passed that mark. That's probably the issue.

Anyway to fix it?

You can ask a mod. I don't know of any other way to change a thread's title after the aforementioned 28 days.

Ask a mod. The one time I felt compelled to do it, I just reported the initial post. I imagine that PMing one of the mods for the forum in question would also take care of it, but if you do the report it will be seen by the first mod who comes on the scene instead of the one you PMed.

... Would that be fine though? Since I would figure the report button is for spammers, flammers, or nasty posts in general.

This has been answered here before, and the general sentiment of the mods (or rather, Roland, since he was doing almost all the modding at the time) seems to be that the report button can be used for anything that should be brought to a mod's attention, just as long as you don't care which mod takes care of it.

I take it you haven't tried to report a post recently?

Not recently at all. I only did once for a spammer a year or so ago.

Try it. It's fun!

I'm not sure what the report button is for anymore. After all, the note under the report window when it's clicked is

"Note: This should be used to report spam, advertising messages, problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts as well as any posts you feel are or might be against the forum rules. You can also report your own posts if you feel you've posted in the wrong forum and would like your thread moved, for example."

So we are allowed to use it for other things?

The short answer is "yes". The longer answer is that you can use the report button for any post that you would like a moderator to review, for any reason. A request to have a thread title renamed after the 28 day window would be a good example.
