    Ok, I've made some changes.

    If I've done this right, thread titles can be edited for something on the order of a few thousand years. (What exactly is 9999999999999999 minutes in years anyway?)

    BUT you must edit the thread's OP in advanced mode to do it.
    If you're having trouble logging in or any other tech support issues, or if you have a question about the software, please post them in the Visitor's Corner.
    If you need to reach me about something more private, please contact me via private message.

    Reaching out to me privately may not result in a quick response. Posting in the Visitor's Corner ensures other staff members will see your post as well and may be able to help you more quickly.

    Also, as far as I know, none of the staff here are psychics, so if you are reporting an issue, and want help, then please take the time to be as detailed as possible. The more effort you put into describing the problem, the more we'll put into solving it.

    Of course, that's based on 365-day years. There are a few billion leap years in there, so you'd have to factor that in to get a really accurate number.

    Thanks so much @EvilGreebo .

    I still can't find any way to edit the title of this thread even in Advanced Edit: 52-week-Emergency-Preparedness-Challenge-Week-Two-Update&p=50035#post50035

    I want to edit out the number Two.

    I'll keep trying to figure out what I'm missing.
