So this only works on page one of multimedia for me, but double-clicking the name of a topic with the left or middle mouse will cause a box to open that will allows me to change the name of the thread...? I was too freaked to change anybody elses, but I did to my own thread. In the video I middle-clicked to avoid having the page change to the actual topic.

The video starts on the first page. I move the the 3rd and 2nd page to show that it doesn't work there, and then return to the first.

It's our easy way to changing thread names. Moderators, that is.

Does it let you change your own thread's name though? It should, I think.

No worries or glitches here!

Thanks for taking the time to make a video though. haha

I'm just wondering why I can do it, and why I can do it to other people. o.o

Maybe an innocent freakout.

I think it just works like that. It lets you change the name on your browser, but the name change doesn't actually go through since you don't have the powers to do that.

Try changing someone else's and see if it lets you D:

... just tried. It implements the change, but the page lags out, and when you refresh the change isn't implemented. It only works on pages where there is a thread created by me in the listing, so now pg1 doesn't work on multimedia, but PG2 does.
