    Unable to rename forum thread

    I'm trying to change the thread title of this thread (add a VBA tag in front) but it seems only *first* post's title is changed.

    Am I missing something obvious or is this not possible in vBulletin?

    (Btw, always wondered why posts and replies do have titles since noticing this "feature" in phpbb first.)

    cheers,
    </wqw>

    There's generally not a valid reason to change titles on threads from 2018...so permission is not given to members.

    But, it looks like the TAG is there isn't it?

    The first post title has become

    [VB6/VBA] Simple AES 256-bit password protected encryption

    . . . while the thread title (outside in the forum list of threads) is still

    [VB6] Simple AES 256-bit password protected encryption

    . . . as originally posted.

    cheers,
    </wqw>

    As it is a CodeBank thread, and therefore a long-term resource, the title is something that matters (especially when adding an extra language), so I have altered it for you.

    Re: Unable to rename forum thread

    Btw, is this issue fixed by a forum upgrade/config?

    I was able to add VBA tag in similar vein to this thread by editing the title of the first post and it automagically modified thread title too.

    Is it possible that OP issue actually boiled to having additional posts in the thread after which the thread title is not synced with first post title on edit anymore?

    cheers,
