Changing a thread's title.

Post by deltarho[1859] »

I should like to change "MsWsII plus Help file" to "MsWsII PRNG plus Help file".

How do I do that?

in the OP you can edit the thread title, though reply's already posted will still show re:whatever old title

That worked on the opening post, but not on the title in the General forum.

So, I posted a dummy post and that worked. The General forum now shows "MsWsII PRNG plus Help file".

I can change the title of all posts if you wish.

That would be great, fxm. Thank you.

The existing title was OK for long-standing members who had seen me talking about the upcoming MsWsII but meaningless for a newcomer.

(Pseudorandom number generator) PRNG is not a well known name for things random.
I had never heard of it before deltarho[] came into freebasic.
I guess many others are in the same boat, unless I have missed out on something along the way.
(Just an observation)

:o

2006 saw the first use of PRNG on this forum.

If anyone wonders what it means, they can always Google it. Of course, that requires curiosity, and not everyone has that. :)
