I wanted to know if you can edit a thread title. You can’t.

Yes. The questions I always ask myself are:

1. Why didn’t I look at the hed when I previewed?
2. Is it bad enough that I should bug a mod to change it?
3. If so, have I annoyed the mod(s) often or recently enough for hed changes that I am on thin ice by asking again?

Thread title change requests are pretty rare. No one around here is anywhere near reaching the annoying level of asking for too many title fixes, at least not in the forums that I moderate.

You’re probably annoying a lot more people by calling it a hed. 😛

**engineer\_comp\_geek** , please add an exclamation point to the “hed” of every thread I’ve started in the last year.
