Making the Message Board work.........
Thursday, June 27, 2002 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
When people browse this board they are confronted with a list of thread topics, which, if they spark an interest/curiosity, will be clicked-on and read.
Makes sense, don't it?
Now, what strikes me as odd/strange/weird/pointless are the thread 'topics' such as....
'Help'...[that's a given]
'I have a question'.....[obviously]
'A little help'....[not TOO much]
'how to do it'....[we talkin' sex, again?]
or
'stupid newbie question'...[a question FOR a 'stupid newbie' perhaps?]
These, and several others probably really don't attract the attention that is 'wanted', because they aren't even lead-ins to the problem, except maybe to show a poor handling of a request for assistance....[so THAT'S the problem]...
It would be cleverererer to clarify the 'subject'....like...."Help, WB won't auto-load"....then in the body of the thread go into more detail.
As is the case with some of these threads, you 'almost' expect....
'Help!!!!'
[then in the thread]
'I'm being held captive by three-toed sloths in the Amazon rain-forest....who won the Soccer?'
I think you get my drift....
