    After I finish typing a new thread, how do I correct a typo in the top Title line?

    One workaround would be to
    copy your message,
    delete the original message/Thread
    start a new Thread,
    type in the correct Subject line and then
    paste in your copied message.

    :)

    Thanks guys.

    Several other BB's I belong to, don't seem to have this restriction.
    It seems pretty awkward at best.

    On the 1st post click Edit, next click Go Advanced... now you can edit the subject.

    You can only edit a title in the 1st 24 hours.

    Arie,

    Thanks, that works.

    Apparently not many people know this well guarded 'secret' including "Staff ".

    We have a set of Moderating tools which include the ability to edit a title - these are not visible to ordinary members :)
