One thing that many folks don't know, and maybe its a Premium member option, but an OP *can* close a thread for further comments.

I just brought up my thread about my poor attacked chick, I don't have any editing buttons at all, anywhere (any more?).

Maybe a new emoticon (like that "good post" one, with a sign "no OT, please"

I don't think it's being "rude or snooty" to want a serious discussion thread to stay on-topic. Another forum I visit has that. There are social thread sections where you can "talk nonsense" and "serious" ones where any off-topic is not permitted/will be removed.

Another thing to be considered is that there are a lot of users who get directed here from google searches. They will just be after information and could be deterred by coming across chat in what seemed to be an information thread. The forum can still have its sense of community by putting chat in a section and keeping "chook stuff" only to "chook stuff".

Well feel free to add some thoughts!

There is this one, but it looks so mean.

@potato chip
you don't see this, at the top of any page, up by the title:?
The "open" box can be unchecked.

That is interesting @WVduckchick.

I went to a thread I started and do not see any thread tools either.

Is it possible to have the option of choosing a "Keep on Topic" button when the OP creates or edits their post so that when somebody hits the reply button they get a big red message saying "PLEASE KEEP ALL POSTS ON TOPIC IN THIS THREAD"? The message doesn't have to appear on each post, but just to notify the poster of such a request.

It may depend on the age of the thread, or may be a Premium member thing.

I just checked the few threads I created and don't see anything that will allow me to edit the title, only add tags.

This is actually off of the original topic
but it is constructive!
While i think your suggestion is awesome, I'm guessing it's probably a bit too much to ask.

No, nothing like that. "Edit" is usually underneath, next to "report"
