Thread starter can edit first post content

[guvner]

I seem to increasingly have members adding good reference content as a new thread, a recent example being a thread to identify all tuner cards which work with Windows 7.

Problem is that as the thread starter, more and more of them want to be able to go back (after the edit time limit has expired) and update their first post to include new information supplied later in the thread.

Without creating a new usergroup and moving people into it as required (which would invoke global changes), all we can do at the moment is suggest that the reader trawl through the thread to find the info he needs.

With threads such as the kind I mentioned, it would be neat if there was a way to enable the thread starter to have permission to continually edit his first post, perhaps with the addition of a button in the first post visible only to thread starter and management.

I've found a modification or two which allows the thread title to be changed, but nothing which allows uswers to update their first post's content.

If such a mod exists for 3.7 and up, could some kind soul point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,
Mike
