Implemented Allow Premium Members to Edit Thread Titles

I think this could be a great perk for Premium Members. It would put less wear on the staff when a thread title needs to be edited just for a simple typo.

I think that most Premium Members are mature enough so that this wouldn't be abused; if it does get abused, like to try and hide something, staff can deal with the individuals. Plus, since staff checks threads regardless, trying to hide something with the thread title would be futile.

For reference, the Edit Title link, which only staff can see currently, is in the same place the Add Poll link is -- under Thread Tools in a thread.

Thoughts?

 

Any opinions on this, staff? :)

 

It's something that's come up in discussion staff has had about Premium perks previously. While there is a mod for it, it comes with a lot of others things that wouldn't be enabled, as well as costing $30 to install. If it were a standalone thing it'd be cool, but a $30 mod Premiums would only use a single feature of wasn't very attractive a selling point.

Ultimately I do agree with giving this to Prems, until there's a separate mod for it I don't think it'll be added onto the forum in the near future. ;c

 

This can actually be accomplished in XenForo itself. :)

Admin CP > Users > User Groups > [Select User Group] > Forum Permissions > Edit thread title by self (requires edit own post)

[Select User Group] in this case would be Premium Members.

 

The permission was added in Xenforo 1.2, hence why Alex didn't know it existed--it's not present on what we're currently running. The update to 1.2 isn't far off, so this can be revisited once that's done.

 

Did not know that tidbit. Thanks, Cass!

 

We can edit titles now. Yay!

This can be prefixed as Approved and locked. :)
