Choosing a thread title / saving members time?

It's always been a bugbear of mine over many forums. People who post cryptic titles to get views, rather that post WTF a thread is about. Please, give us a clue, so we don't our waste time. CEO is taking a while to load just now. Please don't waste your fellow members time. I'd guess, 95% of people do post relevant titles, just a tiny minority don't.

Maybe titles only - no body. Make CEO like Twitter w/a lot less characters :)

Agreed, a good/accurate title is very helpful. However, we don't have any rules about formatting them.

LoL. There's Twitter apps that give you hash tag suggestions after you write your tweet.

Or you could think for yourself ? What is the subject of the post? If you don't know/aren't sure, then maybe you should read your post again...
Or for only US$10, send me your post and I will suggest a title :popcorn:
