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! |
Ditto!
|
again ditto
|
Would be most helpful, glad you brought this to our attention.
|
Right on :thumbup:
|
Great advice!
|
I agree, Bear! I'm trying to be more specific in my titles :)
|
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, very good idea.
|
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.
|
Tritto!! I concur!!

I agree...thanks for bringing this up... :-)
|
Good point !!
|
Yes, please ... it has happened to me too :)
|
I am so glad you said that. Sometimes I think my ads/postings are too specific but now I don't think so. :)
|
Yes, perfect suggestion. I am guilty of it, too, but will try to do better in the future.
|
Makes sense.
|
Do I ever agree with this! Have found stuff too and then the ad was MIA!
|
I agree with you!
|
Totally agree
|
You are absolutely right....I'll keep that in mind next time. Thanks
|
Yes Yes a 1000 times Yes.
|
Good advice on topic headings for ALL Boards
|
Thanks for bringing up this great idea!
|
Just this morning I tried to find an ad that I had been interested in but couldn't find it because the title was too generic. Being specific will be lots of help.
|
Excellent point! I have wasted a lot of time looking for a certain post I saw.

You are so right on! I will never understand why people name topics in such ways. It doesn't help them or us. It makes the wonderful search feature a nightmare. It takes such little time to correctly name your topic. Oddly enough it's not just the newer members that do this but also ones that have been here a very long time. Those please help topics especially with specific sewing machines would bring all the members that had that specific machine in droves to help. I think at this point many people just bypass those types of topics as a waste of their precious time. We are all here to help whenever we can but please people be specific and I imagine you'd find a lot more responses to your questions. :-D |
I think you should re-post this every day for a week...morning, noon and night!!! That way, everyone ''should'' get a chance to see/read it....JMO
