HOW TO : Title your posts Ladies and Gentlemen

It's all been said before, but i'll say it again...

It'll help us all greatly if you could title your posts with a little indication as to what they are about, i.e.

How do I eject the CD Rom Drive?

Or

Error 429 problem...


And if no-one replies to your post then reply yourself and just lob a question mark in the reply, this'll take it back to the top of the pile in case someone missed it, and if no-one replies then - chances are it's a really obscure question....or we are all out drinking beer :) in which case chill down and wait a while...

And the maybe making question sense is a also attribute good
Hi

?

Wooooosh :D .. ah forget it

He sarcastic was being! :)

Indeed he was! But has it ever occured to your most noble mind that not all of the people posting here are native speakers of the English language?

I share the view that titles should indicate what the question is about.

Here some examples for really great titles (feel free to copy and paste)

You make a false assumption that i was referring to non english speakers. I was instead referring to questions that are so vague or badly worded as to be impossible to answer, and then more than likely the poster gets aggravated that noone has offered to help. I guess if the answer to the question is that important the questioner could take a little time to check that their question makes sense.

Okie! There's quite some of that sort too. The title for the follow up angry question preferrably should read:

ANSWER ME!!!!!WHAT'S UP WITH YOU GUYS?! :mad:

I agree. People have been known to word questions really badly, people post answers to what they think they are asking, then the questionner starts insulting and saying things like "NO!!! Y R U SO STUPID" etc etc. That winds me up.

beachbum,

if you look at my starting post you will see the satire in my question mark post ;) I was also sarcastic being, glad to see you all appreciated it tho'...

happy trails guys
