hughdogz Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hi Guys, I'm not sure if this has been covered before, but I thought I'd share... Once in awhile I see members asking the admins (or admins asking the member) to edit the title of their thread. It is possible to edit your own title, delete your message, or add smileys by going into what I call Super - edit mode. You can edit your post within 24 hours of the post and: After pressing the edit button, you can only edit the message text Press the edit button again (the second edit button) and voila! There are a lot more options. Later! -hughdogz ps: if this is old news, I know how to delete it! LOL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firm Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 This sounds interesting.. this is the post of me trying. [edit] When I go into "super edit mode" it just enables the advanced mode. I don't see any options for deleting an individual post. I know the mod functions with vbulletin shows a "delete post" button when you click edit, or you can check next to the post and go to the bottom of the page and select "delete post" in the drop down menu.. But I see neither option in this super edit mode. Maybe I'm just used to the easy way, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I tried to delete one of my last 24 hour posts and I can't see the delete post option under advanced mode (or super-edit ;oP) If someone replies or views your thread, you cannot delete it anymore? Meh...I feel like a donkey now, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZForce Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 It is[/i'] possible to edit your own title, delete your message, or add smileys by going into what I call In advanced mode, you can edit the title... BUT... it only edits the title that you see in the actual thread when you are viewing the thread, NOT the title you see in the forum list.

Administrators BRAAP Posted March 31, 2008 Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2008 That's funny. I have no problems locating the "edit thread" button and changing thread titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Or hit the "go advanced" button... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Okay, I think I know why I was so confused. When you create a thread in one of the "conventional" forums, even the the advanced edit capabilites are limited. But, when you edit your project page thread, you have more options since you are kind of the admin to your project thread. i.e. delete post is an option That's probably why I see the delete post option in the advanced options sometimes but not others. Over a year has gone by of me being a member and I still haven't figured out all the in's and out's yet. *you guys crack me up* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 That's funny. I have no problems locating the "edit thread" button and changing thread titles. Neither do the people who modify and edit forum code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
