Hi Joshua,

I am sorry for the late reply.
Actually, you didn't have to modify the core files. You can simply change the text by modifying this language strings in your site: .../language/en-GB/en-GB.com_easydiscuss.ini . Please find this language string:-
COM_EASYDISCUSS_OR_ASK_A_QUESTION="or Ask a Question"
COM_EASYDISCUSS_POST_TITLE_EXAMPLE="What is on your mind?"

Hope this helps.

Thanks that works perfectly! Apparently people in my company don't understand "What's on your mind" as "Post title here" *sigh* Is there a way to over ride that so that it doesn't need to be changed on each version update?

Thanks!

You can update your custom translation language into Joomla backend > extension > language > override > click new and refer on my attached screenshot below.

When you did this, it will not affected when you update to next version. Hope this will help.
