Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-1526346-20160117193032

I am just browsing the discussion boards, look over at the forum activity, and see two subjects with the title "Help". Some of the forums I visit mention screaming "Help" in the subject title is rather useless to those who are looking for someone to help. Subject titles are important since they let those willing to offer help know what the post is about. Just screaming "Help!" is more likely to be ignored.

Another useless subject title is "  is not working", unless is hyper-specific.

I have learned over the years the more specific your subject title, the better help you will recieve.

So in the box for subject title, it might be a good idea to say "What do you want to talk about? (be specific)".

It is also a good idea to show or explain your work up to that point (if applicatble). Showing your work shows you have made an honest effort to help yourself first.

This is just my opinion, others may feel differently.
