In summary, there could be several reasons why you are unable to edit the thread title, such as restricted editing privileges or the thread being locked by a moderator. However, you can request for a moderator or administrator to edit the title for you, but it is best to check the forum's rules and regulations beforehand. The time limit for editing thread titles depends on the website's settings, and it may or may not be possible to edit the title multiple times. Most likely, you can edit the title on any device or browser as long as you are logged in, but there may be specific requirements or restrictions set by the website. It is recommended to check the guidelines or contact a moderator for more information.

I was going to edit a thread title and it didn't give me an option to, only the main body text. Is there no way to edit the title within the normal editing window?
