Unable to edit thread title after creation #81

Open decentral1se opened 2 weeks ago

decentral1se commented 2 weeks ago

I can edit the first post content, but not the title. Current work-around is to copy/pasta the content, delete the entire thread and re-create the thread. This is fine for new threads but wouldn't work for threads that have discussion (unless you don't mind losing it all). Edits later on might be handy to signal things are resolved/over/etc.

not sure if renaming the issue was accidental—OR A SUBTLE WAY TO MAKE A POINT

:] it's a relic from when there was no edit function. if this seems important for your usage, then we can add it! would probably mean changing the "current edit post" view / copying it to also enable changing the thread title if you are the thread author

nice, thx! yeh it seems pretty critical for pmc needs as we reflected on how to do some sort of categorisation/overview based on [...] in the titles (e.g. [event] my cool event) (and gardening those after people create threads in case they miss the convention). waiting on more input but will probably take a stab at this shortly 🎉

oh so this is a sneaky requirement! you mean to allow admins to change titles after a user has created a post? will have to think about this, it's a paradigm change :] currently admins are treated as glorified doorkeepers (letting people in and kicking abuse out). but once everybody is in, there is no surreptitious editing / hiding of other users posts that are available on other forums

anyway, i will up-prioritize the [...] explorations! it's been asked of in the forum previously

edit: fwiw i am probably going to go for a filter at the top as that featured on hackers & designers

oh you're right! wait a sec, i think im imagining that one so we can hold off until someone from admin world asks for that? the obvious workaround is a comment to ask the poster to adjust the title which is probably fine.

filter energy is exciting! h&d are cool 💘
