Using accurate titles would increase useful replies

This is meant to be a helpful suggestion, not a criticism.

There are many posts on this forum, and someof us have time only to read a small selection. I focus on those topics where I have some expertise and might be able to help, and those topics dealing with an issue I need some help with.

If I see a title that indicates more or less precisely what the question is about, I can decide whether to read it or not. But if I see a title like "Plz help Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz", I don't know what it's about, and probably I will not read it, passing on to topics where the author has taken the trouble to be precise in the title.

If this is a general consensus, then authors should take note and take more care with their titles. You'll get more and better answers.

I agree.

that's a good suggestion. unfortunately some new members just do not know how to express their personal issues. we might need to be a bit more tolerate.

But Suin, they have no difficulty explaining their problem in the body of the post. So presumably they are capable of summarizing their subject more precisely, to give us a better idea of the subject than a "plzzzzzzz" can do.

Nonetheless, the vote stands at 1:1. Any others?

I love it when people say some thing is urgent help please, as if someone has been shot and is about to die. As if applying today or tomorrow will make a big difference in the schemes of things.

this way they try to draw attention to their threads. actually sometimes it can really be urgent - as it could be a matter of the day.
