I have meen noticing lately, that many headlines to threads have flaws in them. There are several problems with some thread titles, and here are the two most common flaws that i see:
(keep in mind that these are not actual thread titles, and are not directed towards any being)
1.)The title is too long/informative Ex. "I have lots of algae. What can i do to fix it?"
Keep the titles short, sweet, and to the point. A better example would be "algae problems". Its short, and lets you know EXACTLY what lies behind the link.
2.)The title is too short, or doesnt have anything to do with the question or statment being proposed via the thread. Ex. "how do i do this?"
How do you do what? Tie a barrel knot? Teach a dog to sit? Make a souffle? You want to offer insight as to what likes behind the link. Some are exceptable (ie, crackatinneys provocative threads), because he has provided insight, you just have a dirty mind.:hmm3grin2orange:
In short, keep your thread titles short and and to the point.
