Is it possible to edit the title of a post you start or is that for the Admin. dept.?

Dave,

I believe the person who starts a thread can change it as I've done it a couple of times. Just edit the first post and change the subject line.

I can't say unless I create a layman's account and log in to see :-D but IF you have the ability to hit the EDIT button on your own post (as I do), then you edit the SUBJECT of your initial post and it should change the thread title, which is the first post subject . . .

tell me what you see?

Well I opened the thread and then got busy for a while and then came back to it and posted my reply -- and you posted during that time. That's how it happened, masser Geoff :?

Blimey!

That's what I do to things that don't work and I don't know why!

Thanks Guys - that worked. Well sort of.
Seems there is a max No of Characters, at least in the edit.
No prizes for finding which post I needed to edit (or why ;-) )

Hope you all enjoy Donny !

:cheers:

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
