Edited Thread Titles Don't Update on Main Index Page

[TJ]

Time Limit on Editing of Thread Title
Specify the time-limit (in minutes) within which the thread title may be edited by the user whom started the thread.

This setting is the number of minutes in which a user may edit the title of a thread that he starts, and have it apply to the thread listing screen (forumdisplay). After this time period, the change will only apply to the title shown in the first post of the thread. (Administrators and moderators with permission may always edit the title of the thread as shown on forumdisplay through the Edit Thread function.)

I changed it from 0 minutes (unlimited) to 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999. I don't remember when I last changed the number of minutes. The default is 5 or 10 minutes. I didn't think setting it to 0 would disable it, but maybe there's no truly unlimited option when it comes to editing thread titles. 0 means unlimited for other options.

Please try editing a recent thread title to see if it updates now.

I edited my Dolly Parton Pet Gala title, problem is fixed now.

It wasn't working with it set at 0 minutes. There must have been some built-in limit. Something must have changed because it didn't always work that way. I don't have a problem with people updating older thread titles.

I found a thread which said changing the number fixes the issue.

That is precisely why 0 didn't work anymore. Updated thread titles were not showing up correctly on the main index page and their board. It was happening with others like JamesG and opus as well, see the earlier posts in this thread.
