The line "Title" is currently blank and if I type what I want in there it appears, as you rightly pointed out, in the post but does not change the title itself.

Apart from that, I can only see the main text, and editing that won't help.

I'm wondering if, having edited it once, the option does not appear again?

Basically, where on the screen do I go :-)

Thank you
Not sure I understand. I went to a few threads that I started and went to my original post. I clicked on "edit/delete" and then "go advanced". It showed me a screen that had the thread title and my original post. I could change the thread title and then click on "save changes" and it will change the thread title. Note, that I am using the new version of TOTV, but both versions seem to work the same way for changing the thread title.

Note that the new version has a "reply" and a "quick reply" button on posts, whereas the old version only has a "quick reply" button. If you use the "reply" button in the new version, you have the option to add a title to your reply post. This does not change the thread title. Only the poster who started the thread can change the thread title by using the "edit/delete" and "go advanced" buttons.

Is it possible that you deleted the entire thread title and need to type in a new one?
