Misleading thread titles in forums meant for serious discussion piss me off. Stop getting my hopes up.

Go die in a fire.

THIS IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT POST

Yeah, I hate that too. When it's like, OMG MY UNCLE SET HIMSELF ON FIRE IN A VAT OF WATER and you click on it and the person's like "im lonely be my gf" -_-

I don't like extremely vague thread titles. Stuff like "Hey guys", "Have you ever wondered if...", and the ever-classic "IMPORTANT PLZ READ." I want to know what a thread is about just by reading the title. If I have dozens of threads to sift through, the last thing I need is to waste more time opening a bunch of threads I couldn't care less about. :-?

I know what you mean Uncle. Like in PSU General threads where the title would be "Next Update". So you click it thinking "Oh crap! What's coming this time!" just to find that the person posted "What's going to be in it?" or "When is it?". It can't hurt to put a question mark at the end can it? :disapprove:

It's like biting into a crisp onion roll, expecting to taste succulent BBQ chicken and caramelized onions, and instead finding it to taste of month-old diaper fluids...:disapprove:

If there is one good thing about vBulletin it is the hover over the topic to see a preview of the first post capability. Truly it can save us all brain pains many times.

You know what bugs me?

Thread titles that are just "[thing name]?" I mean what the hell?

Yeah, weird things bother me.

You're right about that. That's one feature of the new layout I definitely like more than the old one!
