When giving an ad (or any topic, for that matter) a title, please be specific and/or descriptive.

For example: I came across a green calico that someone had wanted in November or December - and I can't find the ad again because it said something like "fabric wanted" or "please help"

If the ad had said something like "green floral calico wanted" - I might have been able to find the ad again.

Sometimes one finds what was being looked for days, weeks, or months later - and one would love to be able to tell the original poster "I found it!" - if only one could find the ad again!

very good advice. When it just says ISO or something similar it would be hard to go back and find that posting again

I agree, and I will try my best to do the same so it makes searching a lot easier for our members. Thanks for the reminder.

Subject lines---would anyone else find them to be more helpful if they were longer such as the one I'm posting now? I'm continuing to type here in the subject line just to give us all a feel for how much room we have on a title line for a new topic.
