Lomm,

Thank you for your response and for your effort!

Will do on contacting Lzcutter!

She asked me to do it, isn't sure how either. I'll try again when I have a chance.

Try it out! viewforum.php?f=134

Nailed it! I can see the topic, Lomm!

THANK YOU!

Where would we want this? Under TCM or a more general one?

probably in the general genre forums
TCM doesn't air many real animated films...
just old (MGM?)cartoons

Is there an existing forum for documentaries? If not, should one be added?

Seconded! Add it along with an Animation section under The Films.

My suggestions: If Animated Films and Documentaries categories can be created, please make them subforums in The Films.

Also "Please" and "Thank you!" would probably be welcomed by the administrators.

EP is absolutely correct. Thanks for everything I've seen done so far!

This may not be the right thread for this question but here goes ...
On the defunct TCM site if you were the OP you could change the title of your thread by going to the very first post and hitting 'Edit.'
I found this useful when I did the 'Favourite Performances' or 'Favourite Foreign Films' in the Favourites Topics. It allowed you to start with one year, ie 1930 and let everyone respond with their own favourites for that year and then instead of creating yet another thread the OP could simply change the title to 1931 for the next week's poll. You could keep all the interaction in one thread that way.
Does anyone know if this function is available with SSO posts?

I thought you were able to change the thread title by clicking the "pencil" icon on the first post (if it is your post of course). Can you check this?

Alright, we have Animated films and Documentaries forums now under "The Films". Please try them out and let me know of any problems.

Nailed it again, Lomm! Thank you!

S'il vous plait and at your leisure and convenience, is it possible to put the THE FILMS subforums in alphabetical order (Action and Adventure, Animated Films, Comedies, Documentaries, Dramas, etc.)?
Aren't you glad that the SSO has more members to pester you?

Yes, you're correct, Lomm, the pencil (Edit post) button enables the creator of a topic to change the topic title.
