less ambiguous thread titles please!

Is it just me, or is it a little frustrating when the page is full of 'some from yesterday' or 'feedback welcome' threads?

Some of what!? Feedback on what!?

Please can people give an idea of what is in the thread? I guess there will be photos, but of what?

Maybe I'm not interested in tomatoes so I can save some time by avoiding that thread. Or perhaps I love photos of tomatoes but passed by that thread becuase it didn't tell me anything.

OK, grump over for now :P

Re: less ambiguous thread titles please!

So I'm guessing "A few from yesterday" doesn't count....

Re: less ambiguous thread titles please!

Hold your mouse over the thread title. It gives the first paragraph of the content. Should stop you wasting so much time clicking uninteresting links!

Re: less ambiguous thread titles please!

Maybe some clever person could come up with a title generator. I think that would solve all issues.

Re: less ambiguous thread titles please!

Re: less ambiguous thread titles please!

i don't mind the "a few from yesterday" type titles

i try to look at most threads and enjoy looking at other peoples work so that i can get ideas for future photos, help to improve my photos or provide constuctive feedback for the user

at the end of the day we're one big community and should help each other out where we can by providing info or feedback for each other

Re: less ambiguous thread titles please!

It also helps with searches etc though don't forget. I personally have soo little work on right now I look at all threads but it would help if the titles were a little more descriptive. I use the mouseover trick but this doesn't always work [stupid IE7].

That is a very good point, though generally I do tend to title my pictures and add a short description of where they were taken which would also be picked up.

But that's simple...from your thread title I'd just say Canon without reading it
