not sure if this is where I'm supposed to ask this as I'm still working my way around this site. (which is great btw.)
I posted a request for help. Help was given. I would like to change the title of my thread to add "Found. Thank you". However I can't figure out how to do it.
If there is a way, will you please let me know.
Thank You
Lynx

I understand you can change a thread name by editing the first post, and changing its title. However, I believe it will only work for a limited time, though (not sure if it's for a few days after creation, or based on the number of answers).

Yours,

I believe that the initial poster can change the title of the thread for 30 days after thread creation. Well, at one point it was 30 days, it might have changed. That was something like 3 (or more) years ago that I saw the 30 day figure.

It's 80640 minutes.

56 days? Huh, I remember it being either 30 or 28 days last time it was mentioned.

It was 28 days. I doubled it ages ago.

So it was never 30 days? Okay, now I have to figure out why I thought it was 30 days. Obviously I was misinformed. Thanks for clarifying that!

It was exactly 4 weeks (now 8). It's a February month, but many people might forget that over time and remember it as a 30-day month.
