Perhaps it is just me but some of the topic names are not nearly self explanatory enougth.

if you have a problem with red for instance custom texures won't work then please title your thread in the red editing section Custom textures won't work etc not for intstance help please , or I can't get them to work. I know this sounds petty but it makes the whole search system of this forum alot easier when looking for a post made a long time ago. and also it makes people with the knowledge to help see your post and help. IE thread starter 3Dstudio max help.........................now all people with 3dStudio max experience will read that thread and help if they can. Sorry perhaps its just me ranting AGAIN but I i hate looking through new posts I do not have the slightest idea on how to help.

Yeah... its why the queue system was down for a few days last week. I was happily thinking all was well and there was in fact two threads of people saying the queue seemed to be getting very very large and going nowhere.

Both threads had stupid titles... the one I can remember was something like "oh my..........." which I never read because the thread topic had nothing of interest to me. heh.

vibes I was going to re-name this thread to: Why can't people name threads with titles that best describe the question being asked". As you can see, the title would have been tooooooo long. I too agree and have been known to rename a thread or 2 or 200.
Garner, I just re-name that thread to "Oh my large cache".,

I agree. Although I have had my share of dumb topic namimg in the past; I may sound like a hypocrite. but I definatley agree it's hard to find things when topics are given stupid names. Are we going to see enforcement in this area?

Vague topic names don't really annoy me much, its just troublesome when the topic of the thread doesn't match the topic of the title. Take for example Slitzerfest's latest thread, previously named something like "V-Allender Reply" (I don't remember the exact title) and talking about his 'space ship.'

Ditto.
An effort should be done to have thread titles more self explanatory.

The latest one that notably got on my nerves was the totally irrelevant The Deed has been done! which finaly proved to be the simple continuation of Help me choose a video card (which was much clearer.)

Maybe the original title was too clear for Zman who deemed it would be better to confuse and draw the attention of all those won don't care about his graphic card

molodiets that thread has been closed with a link pointing to the end results. Thanks,
As far as enforcing...Huh?
What I and some other staff members can do is rename the threads but it really should be done until the thread has run its course. If we rename it, the original author might not find it.
Then again a PM could be sent out letting know of the said change, the reason why it was change and a link to the thread.
