Yes, I'm aware I misspelled "titling". But I really didn't want anyone to mispronounce it
I'm a busy person. I haven't posted much lately because school and lifeare swallowing me up at the moment. I only have a few moments each dayto peruse the forums (not just this one, but 9 others), catch up on afew threads, and keep in touch with certain members.
To make the most use of my limited online time, I quickly scan posttitles to see if anything pops out to me, or anything I might be ableto help with.
Now I'm not picking on anyone in particular, but today as I was scanning the forum I saw:
"my rabbit"
"question"
"how many?"
Do I have any idea what these posts are about? And how will I knowwhether I will be able to, perhaps, offer advice? Because - frankly -for the sake of time, I skip right over them.
A post like "lucy is detemend not to go in her cage" tells meexactly what problem the poster is asking, and what kind of helpthey're looking for. I'm much more inclined to check it out
I know I'm not the only member who feels this way. And,unfortunately, good people with worthwhile questions are being ignoredbecause of vauge post-titling.
If you're having trouble clipping your rabbits nails, don't title yourpost "problem", or even for that matter, "nails". Tell everyone whatyour problem is (i.e. "Having trouble keeping rabbit still for nailtrims"). Sooo much better
I encourage you, dear members, to title your posts in a way thatreflects exactly what the post is about. It works out better foreveryone.
