Changing thread name

rink23 · 09-26-2016, 02:42 PM

Is there any way to change the name of your thread?
My "Battling the Wee Bears: A 2016 St. Louis Cardinals Dynasty" is moving into its 2017 season.
Is there a way to change it, so it reflects the thread contains not only the 2016 season but beyond?
Or should I just start a new thread?
Or should I just keep it with the 2017 season and move forward?

I think people understand that you started in 2016. Conclusion: Try not to put a year number in your thread title. By the way. I think the title box should change the name.

IIRC, that only works for a little while. Not sure if it's time-based or based on the number of views, but after a bit the thread title is set in stone.

Or, well, digital stone.

I guess. You can edit a post without getting a time stamp on it for a short amount of time, so I guess there is no hope.

What I do for mine is start a new thread with a link to the previous years threads in the first post.

It also keeps threads from getting too ridiculously long.

You can ask a mod to change it.

(I just took out the 2016 part.)
