Please allow topic titles to be edited pre-approval

AI 生成的摘要

The discussion revolves around a feature request to allow users to edit topic titles before approval, as currently only post content can be edited pre-approval. watchmanmonitor initiates the thread, expressing a desire to edit both the title and content of a new topic before it’s published. Mittineague questions the feasibility, noting that editing both title and content in one go might be complex. watchmanmonitor clarifies that the issue is specific to new topics, not replies. codinghorror humorously compares the delay to email systems, suggesting a similar delay could prevent errors. watchmanmonitor seeks clarification on whether the idea is rejected or not. watchmanmonitor adds that the feature wasn’t a high priority, but still valuable, as it would allow users to fix mistakes before the topic is finalized.

Continuing the discussion from Accidental double tap on post moderation deleted the post:

I’d like to be able to edit the topic’s title as well as its content, before letting it post to the forum

All in one go?

Though I can see how this would be nice, I think it’s edge-case enough where the status quo is OK
i.e, edit the post and the category / title - tags separately

Is it the current process that big of and that common of a problem for you?
Or am I missing what you’re saying?

If the post is a reply, it’s a non-issue.

When the post will start a topic, it would be better to be able to add clarity/fix typo’s before it hits the forum (and all the subsequent emails, which can’t be corrected at a later time.)

This is why emails are always delayed by 5 minutes, so people posting have a chance to do final edits. There is a site setting for it as I recall…

I can’t tell if your answer means No, don't want to add it , Yes, but it's not high priority, or something different.

It’s been a while, so it wasn’t high priority…

Is being able to edit the subject line of a new post something we can hope to see?
