Thread showing different subjects after editing.

[JeromeTash]

I couldn't help but notice this;

Topic as shown in OP



Topic as show in replying posts



As you can see, the topic was obviously edited from [OPEN] to [CFNP] but in the thread, the post's subject still remains as [OPEN] which is quite confusing.
- Is this something that should be corrected or it just a forum feature used by users to know what the subject was before it was edited?
- If it is a title/subject history feature, then why don't we just have a view edit history button or link next to the dotted timestamp or Just make the edit history linkable to the dotted timestamp if the post has been edited?

It's a feature. Without it, there would be no point of showing a title for each post.

Each post gets it's own title, and that doesn't change when the topic title is changed.
And if you quote such a post (try it!), your post copies that title instead of the topic title.

Just check it on your mobile phone.
Main thread always will be real time updates. Check below when it was last edited. You can check also on PC, just move your mouse pointer to subject. Whenever OP will edit title it will only effect on main post and new reply.

 

If you reply now your subject will same if you don't bother to edit.


When OP post reserve that time topic title was Open so it will never change even you change main post title.

That wasn't edited.

Summary is, when you will reply a thread your subject will same as current subject of OP. If OP edit subject it will not change your subject. But you can change only manually if you want.

Oh great, thanks for the clarification. Clearly understood.

Thanx for the explanation.


Now locking the topic.
