Just a test for editing.
@irmar would you mind editing the topic title?
Normally, you have the regular badge to be able to edit the title.
I normally had it last year, but it’s not there anymore, so I can’t check myself.
No, I can’t anymore. After you-know-who made a ruckus because of my editing some title’s grammar, I can’t edit any title, not even mine. But I see nobody else can as well.

Thank you for trying!
I can see a pencil next to the topic title, so the author can still edit when it’s fresh? (I guess?)
I will try to check every day until I can’t see the pencil anymore.
Thanks again

Try using that pencil. Sometimes the icons are there but when you use it, it says you can’t.

I’ve just tried and the pencil worked xd
On older topics I wrote, no pencil.
I will wait until it will become old enough.
Weren’t older topics banned from editing in the past as well?
Yes, from my memory, I couldn’t edit old topics title I wrote.
I don’t know how old though.
It happens we asked Irmar to edit the topic title from new or old topics because she has the regular badge that allows some members to do it. She put “closed” for ex or put a more precise title.
Some other members have the same badge like Viki staff, Bozoli, etc. (Angel had it too last year? This part I don’t remember well).
From Irmar’s answer in Somejuwels’ topic, she could edit super old topics (like in 2016 or before?) and now she can’t. I wanted to know for recent posts.
Or we could ask Bozoli!
@bozoli Would you mind editing the topic title of this post and Somejuwels’ topic title "The Liar and His Lover?" We’re trying to put “Closed” to the latter topic.

I’m afraid I have lost this superpower, as well

Thank you for trying, Olja 
Just looking for the time when the topic will be old enough then.
I just checked an almost 2 months old topic and I can’t edit anything there anymore.
Let’s see if you’re able to edit your post then.

Okay, I made my own fresh test topic and yes, I can edit the title. I edited it from “Test topic” to “Delete please”.

The little edit icon is still appearing on this for me but not of Irmar’s new topic “Delete”

Oh thanks for checking!
This is weird!
Do you have by any chance the pencil icon on Somejuwels’ topic?
@piranna Yes. On Somejewels’ topic the edit icon appears and it apparently is functioning as the box popped up when I clicked on it although I didn’t edit it.

Thanks for taking a look!
Think we’ll have to call Viki for this type of thing then.
That’s weird. Why on some you can and on some others you can’t?
Anyway, I did open a ticket on Help Center and gave them the link to this discussion thread. Let’s see what they say.

Thanks for opening a ticket!
Finally!!
A little late for this topic, but found another topic (“Comics”) that I created on February 1st!
Yesterday, I still could edit “Comics” in the title and in the posts, but today not anymore
So 2 months to edit a title and your own post
My ticket is still open. Maybe it’s not considered important enough.
Hi everyone!
As of December 2019, we disabled permissions to edit the subject line of threads that are authored by another user. This change is applied to all user tiers on Discussions.
And some of your observations are right — authors of threads are given a period of 2 months (86400 minutes) after posting to edit their own post, after which the author will no longer be able to make changes. This has been the default setting on Discussions (since the beginning of time), and rest assured no changes have been made to the permissions for editing the subject line of the threads that you authored.
I hope this adds some clarity for everyone!
Take care and stay healthy!
