Editing Forum Titles

Not just here on Boonex but on my site as well.  I am so tired of hitting the submit button and then seeing misspelled words in the title.  On my site I have to go into the bleeding database to fix titles.  Would be nice if one could edit the title of a forum post.  Anyone implemented this?

I am sure we could figure out a way to add this if noone else has. It would just simply be adding a link or button or whatever to a single field form for the Forum Title, and using an sql update query.

The URL is built from the title, so I guess we might want to update that as well?

yeah - whatever fields need to be updated, could be included in the sql - I dont use the forums, so did not realize about the url.

It would need to allow either the admin or the topic owner to edit the title without allowing anyone else to edit the title.

 I'm sure that this is why it is not allowed, same for music post, photos, any media, once the URL is written it's done except for deleting and re-posting.

Yes, I guess one could just copy the text of the post, then delete the whole thing and repost.  However, when I have had to correct a post, I would edit the URL as well; for example, to fix the apostrophe bug.  The only problem would be if someone copied the URL and posted it outside of the forum; inside the forum it is not a problem since the index is built on the fly.  Of course one could leave the URL as is; it would still post to the correct topic even if the URL says "http://.... kan not post new topics" and the title has been corrected to "can not post new topics"
