| Help Us To Help You: Thread Title Advice
I've been changing a few thread titles recently in order to make them more useful to potential problem solvers.
A lot of people (myself included) won't bother to open a post if the title (and first few lines) don't give a hint about what the problem/ question is.
The two that spring to mind were "FAO Mark T" and "Help Needed".
Whilst this isn't exactly a crime, my advice is try to think about a good title first, and the likelyhood of some extremly useful replies is very high indeed.
Thanks. |

| I think the biggest cause of threads not being answered is that are always lots of new posts in M&E section, so they go away really fast to page 2.
I think M&E could be split in 2 or 3 sections, eg: Engines, Other mechanical and Electrical | |

I don't bother arguing anymore, I give advice and shut up. If they know better then so be it.
