JMortensen Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I'm looking at the main forum page and seeing the following threads: V8 section: Thoughts on this: 6 Cylinder: How about a little teaser Fabrication: Can someone help? These are horrible thread titles, folks. I had to open all of these threads to figure out what they were about. This kind of stuff makes it that much harder to find what you want with the search function. When you're searching you will have NO CLUE as to what is in these threads at all. PLEASE take everyone into consideration and write descriptive titles. I'm going to try and fix these threads in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 280ZForce Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 This needs to be a sticky for all forums! couldnt agree more...even if it makes it a lengthy title, then so be it. i dont know how many times i've searched for hours trying to find specifics because I had to open up each thread that was very vague in title. Good call indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I agree. I try to say what the thread is about before posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I agree. Why is it that people don't understand how important titles are? Spelling is a huge issue too. If they misspell key words, even good titles are useless. Maybe we need another moderator who only checks/corrects things like this. That's a full time job though.

flames_187 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 it does take some time to go through them but i must say it is waaaay better than other sites so i manage :-/ more descriptive titles would say a little time...i still find myself looking a each thread becuz theres always a lil information in each that add up to something i need.

blueovalz Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Amen!! Some of these titles are witty, amusing, cute, and catchy, but do absolutely nothing for those searching for information. Thank you for bringing up a subject I'd wished I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlderThanMe Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I try to do that always...very good point. I get frustrated when I get told to search for something and I can't find what I am looking for since the title of the thread is completely non-descript. Sort of makes it hard to find the wealth of information that is on HybridZ. Anyway good point and everyone should follow this guideline... I seem to remember a thread a few months back about the same or a similar problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I didn't want to give away what my post was about till someone actually opened it. My fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I'll repeat... we should all be required to pass a test or interview before we can post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
