<font size="5"> '''A well-written title for your post will significantly improve your chances of getting a helpful response.''' </font> <br><br> <font size="4"> A good post title typically includes a description of the '''application''', and a description of the '''situation'''. </font> Ideally, you want to '''attract''' as many qualified people as possible to your post. The right title will encourage forum readers to click through and read your post. Also, a well-titled post will come up in Google and other search engines for relevant searches. You may find someone responding to your post by saying: "I found this discussion in Google...". =Examples of good post titles= *[http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/mustang-5-0-engine-vibrates-1-000-rpm-181809.html Mustang 5.0 engine vibrates @ 1000 RPM] =Examples of bad post titles= *"Question" ''(most threads are questions)'' *"I have a question" ''(same as above, but slightly more verbose)'' *"Engine question" ''(slightly better, but we probably already know it's an engine question if it's in the correct forum)'' *
