this_is_not_me Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I've always lurked here more than I've posted, but I finally got around to posting a fic recently. And now that I've got part 2 up, I don't know how to edit the topic title (which still says "Part 1/?"). I know I've seen people do this (or put "updated [date]" into the topic title when they update a fic), but I don't seem to have access to edit my topic title. I'm guessing I might not have a high enough member status since I'm not the most active member. I know this is a silly little thing to ask about, but does anyone know how to help me get my topic title edited? Thanks!! Link to comment
Anonymouse Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 You will need to PM a mod and ask to be added to the writers group. This will allow you to edit topic titles. Link to comment

(I'm pretty sure the person who gave me access to the adult board is a mod so I can probably ask them if there's no list.) Link to comment
Joal 555 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hi this_is_not_me Firstly, just to say that since the forum upgrade in February, the way to edit a topic title is by editing the first post in the thread. You are right to say that it then depends on your membership level as to whether you can do that or not. In your case, you can edit your posts for 60 minutes after you have posted them. Therefore, on this occasion, I have edited your topic for you to say part 2. As Anony has pointed out, for those members who have posted a few stories, they can apply to join the Writers' Group, which gives greater editing powers, by sending a PM to one of the Admins (that's PuddinPop, Dusty15 or me). I hope that helps! Link to comment
this_is_not_me Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Oh, awesome. Thanks so much for fixing my title! I figured out that PuddinPop was probably one since he gave me access to the adult board recently. I messaged him to ask about the writers' group, but it sounds like I need to be more active first. Do I just bug a mod any time I want to fix my title until then? (Won't be a big issue, I'm a slow writer anyway.) Link to comment
Joal 555 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Yes, being in the Writers' Group is a privilege, so we normally expect members to have posted a few stories before we grant it. And yes, in the meantime, I'd be happy to edit any topic titles for you, if you PM me (and any other staff member would be happy to help too). Link to comment

PuddinPop Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I was just going to reply to your PM but I can see this has all been sorted now, so I won't Just thought I'd say so to avoid you thinking I was ignoring the message Link to comment
