I see quite a few people editing their original post to ask if a mod can alter the title. Before I ran my mouth of (in a friendly way of course) I thought I’d check. For the 3 of you that come to ATMB, you can change your thread title within the edit timeslot by clicking the “Go Advanced” button in the edit pane and changing the title field.

I didn’t think that was possible until now.
