Can everyone please put at least a little effort into giving some sort of description in the titles for their threads.
Most of the time I (and I'm sure others) don't even bother to look at a thread that has a subject title like "HELP NEEDED" (Not pointing the finger at anyone :) )
Apart from anything else, you'll get more replies if you actually give a description of what it is the thread is about rather than "HELP" (again, not pointing the finger).

Great point Chewy. If you see something that is rather vaguely titled, you're either not going to open it, or open it and decide it wasn't what you wanted to read. Either way, the thread won't get as much contribution as one that is apropriately titled, as that title will attract the people that want to read the topic and thus people that would want to discuss said topic.
Makes sense eh ;)
So... use descriptive thread titles please!

I thought this was going to be about something else, never mind.

Nice one, S.! But Chewy does have a very good point, here. I do most of my forum surfing at work (sshhh!) because the refresh rate is excellent. I need to have a good idea at what I'm going read. "HELP NEEDED"? Indeed.

I was waiting for that.
