I just came across this weird bug. I accidently double clicked on a thread and the thread title turned into a user-editable area. I took a screenshot (see attachment). By the way it only worked on a thread I posted.

Looks like a quick edit for the thread title.

Yeah it is. You can do this to rename your own threads.

Of course the mods/gods can use this to rename other peoples threads. It is a very handy tool and saves you having to go Edit > Advanced.

FYI I moved this thread into Site and Forum Feedback

But the thing is, I double click the link, and I see the edit mode; but then my browser continues to browse to the thread, so I have no time edit or save it.

What happens if you double click next to the link but not actually on it?

It should bring up the edit mode.
 
Hey cool, I thought only the mods could do that. I see I can do that with my own threads too.

If you click just to the right side of the thread name or to the right of the pages it will bring that inline editor up but not go into the thread, click none of the hyperlink stuff. you write in what you want and voila!

edit: it doesn't work on your older threads though so the feature must not be retroactive.

That works now. Thanks, but this is actually a neat feature. More people should know about this!

I've noticed it's an utter pain in the ass trying to get it to work. Not a worthwhile feature IMO.
 
I always clicked it by accident, now that I know how do use it it is quite useful.
