Go to the post and press edit.

If you are trying to edit the title of the entire thread, you need to edit the first post in the thread.
Obviously you have to be the owner/first poster in that thread.

There is also a time limit so people can't go back and "destroy" old postings.

I'm getting the time limit error on my build thread. I would like to edit the title to reflect the current status of my project.

examples: "My Build Thread (NEW PICS)" or "My Build Thread (QUESTION)"

Is this possible?

it is possible, but you'll need to ask Everett (or the forum's moderator) to do it for you....

After the time limit, only the moderators or admins can edit it.

It's best to have a general title, like the one you have now, so that it does not have to be edited all the time.

When you post at the end, it pops up to the top so people will see your updates and jump to your newest post by clicking on the little green icon next to the post.
