Guys try to use keywords in subject titles like 'Help with Sherman welds', or 'Need resin cockpit for F4U', Try to make the topic title short and to the point. Don't use ALL CAPS and don't do things like '???' and '!!!'.


And forget "has anyone" or "please help" etc because they are the most skipped over posts for their vagueries!

Sigh... okay I got my coffee now and feel a little better

I agree fully. what if there is something we want to find in that post later and it was miss titled. You better have a lot of luck or time.

An essential point.
There are many people joining in all the time and the same subjects and questions come up over and over again. Many times I´ve remembered that there already was a good topic about this, with lots of replys and lots of info. I tried to look it up and came up with nothing as the original title was misleading.

The search function is the key to the database that this site is becoming.

I'm glad you started this topic, as I wanted to write something simmilar for some time now. I've noticed people tend to be vague with the subjects of their posts.. "has anyone" or "help" is not the subject that could drive me to read the entire post.

Thanks for pointing that out Billy... BTW, I like your hair..
