I've gotten several complaints lately, either through PM's, or stated directly in posts regarding how difficult it is to get meaningful searches accomplished when the thread titles don't give any information as to what the thread is about. Please try to state your question explicitly so as to help everyone out.

In offtopic it isn't a big deal, because people are there to read every thread, but in a tech section, the title means a lot.

Lets pretend I know EVERYTHING about CV's (which I don't) and I love to help and I see two titles:

"Question"
"Destroyed my CV, any experts our there?"

Which would I most likely read? And when searching for CV failures, which one would you most likely click on?


Here's some examples March:
"Techs please help"
"What Do You think? "
"Lift Question?"
"Problem - NEED HELP!!!!!"
"Question for the experts"
"Deal or no Deal?????"
"so tell me gurus "

Now if one of these is yours, don't take it personally, I just needed examples. Also, your posts happened before this sticky, so you are exempt!

Most, if not all of these topics above actually stated the question in the first line of the body text field. Thus, just put that question in the thread title field.

Imagine if you searched and came up with thread titles like these. You wouldn't know at all what those threads were about until you clicked on them. So people when they can't find information easily, they post duplicate threads, because as far as they knew, there weren't any threads just like theirs.

Thanks for the cooperation.

PM me with any comments/complaints.
