Unlimited Time Limit For Thread Title Editing
 

What Does this Hack Do?

This hack allows users to infinitely modify the thread title.

If you've ever seen the Time Limit on Editing of Thread Title under vB Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options you may have noticed that setting it to 0 simply meant a 0 time limit. This hack allows 0 to mean infinite.

Do not install if you want there to be a true 0 time limit to thread title editing.

Why Use this Hack?

Having been on several forums, I can say that being able to change the thread title in the first post is something I can barely live without. Whether I goofed up the spelling, or the thread title needs an update, it was nice having more control over my own threads.

Therefore, when I noticed in vb the only way to set an unlimited thread title edit was by having it all go up to 9999999... I felt it was better to just code a bypass conditional.

How to Use it

After installing the hack go to:vB Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options >>Time Limit on Editing of Thread Title

Set the time to 0

This is my first hack release so please be gentle! ;)

Sorry about that. The WYSIWYG editor fiercely messed up the post :P

Installing as we speak....

Didn't work for me :(

Really??? did you set the setting to 0 in the control panel?

Yeah I did, then I went and tested everything out and edited by popped right up.

No, I think this hack is to just allow the thread title to be changed, not to remove the "edited by" message(s).

Yes, the poster is right. The edited by is a separate indication.

This is supposed to allow for you to edit the thread title an unlimited number of times. If you don't want edited by to appear I also believe you can set that as well.

OHHHH in that case!!

Bravo this thread worked marvelously!

:D

all u need to do is put 999999999999999 in there and it will work fine. this was from the vb devs.
