Many of the forum's contributors are literary wits, which I respect, but wit, humor, cleverness and purposeful vagueness should be put aside when choosing titles for new threads. If the title of a new thread does not contain words that are key to the thread's content, then it makes it practically impossible to be included in search results when using the search by title only option.
This is especially important when submitting threads about technical problems and their solutions. You might write an incredibly valuable article on how to fix a 914 problem that everyone is up against, but if it is not easily searchable no one will reap the benefits of your wisdom. Titling a thread like "Nasty Little Gremlin Solved" (just a made up example) that is really about fixing a headlight problem is pretty much useless when searching by title in the future. I like to search by title as it is quicker and usually more specific to what you are looking for. Am I off base on this? I hope none of our more creative writers are offended but following this guideline would make the forum more of a treasure trove of knowledge than it already is. Ansbacher '74 2.0 |
