There's a time limit on editing posts/threads.

You should however still be able to change the label, correct?
I am unable to change the script in the title, nor the WTB/FS/etc labels, and have no edit button on the first thread post. This changed at some point in the past few weeks.


Edit: it is possible the prefix edit button location has changed, but I am unable to locate both on mobile and desktop client.

No, only ScubaBoard Staff can edit titles from the forum list views. Members can edit the title and contend when they click Edit within the first 24 hours in discussion forums and the OP does not have a limit in Classifieds forums.

The most common use is to change the For Sale title prefix to Closed.

Until recently, the end user has been able to change the title prefix as well as the title of threads in the classifieds forum regardless of date of posting.

E.g. Closed - deleted
 
All caps is considered shouting and takes up a lot more space on thread lists.
And what if the OP is actually shouting and wants to express that? :stirpot: :gas:
 
Is anyone seeing this problem in other forums besides Classifieds: Regulators?
Same issue in classifieds Rebreathers, classifieds Computers, classifieds Regulators, etc. If as staff/mods, you all prefer to keep thread title edits to a maximum 24hr period and leave the Prefix permanently editable, all good, but it is a departure from how this feature has worked for at least the past year, if not for the past three or more years.
 
We just completed a couple of tests with member accounts that do not have moderator permissions and the Edit option was still there after 24 hours. This test was in the Classifieds: Regulators forum.

Even though this account has a Staff member badge, it does not have special permissions. Not sure what is causing if for some members and not others?
