This is my annual post to encourage forum members to help others as well as themselves by posting problems/questions in the subject line.
I'm sure others just don't bother to open messages where the subject line is something like "Help" or "A question" or "What would you do?".
A quick review of such subject lines indicates that 10% of the postings here aren't giving enough info. I might suggest that instead of "Help!" you post "Generator Problem" and instead of "A question" you post "Tire tread failing" and well, I think you get the drift. OK, rant over. Happy Holidays to all!

Yes, those HELP subject lines are not good. It's much easier to search for keywords in subject lines than in the full text of the post.

I put the curser over the subject line and the body text automatically comes up for me to read. It is at that point that I decide whether to open the thread.

Same here. It would be helpful if a clue was given in the subject line. This would also save time when searching specific topics.

Gee...there's been alot of editing here! Anyways, I do agree with your point and as one poster said, I always use the cursor to preview the post before I jump in with both feet.
