melbournebetta Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I don't know, maybe I'm totally insane, maybe I use the search function too much.. maybe... this is trivial.... But personally I put as much info / keywords / detail into my thread topics when I start them - so when and if there is an answer to my question or someone miraculously solved my problem - it's easy for others to search for the same thing. Just sayin.... lots of details in topic titles would make my life easier. kthnxsbai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumofthehoarde Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I agree....I suck at search engines so anything that makes it easier to hunt down info works for me!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 And if you're going to be lazy with spelling elsewhere, at least make an effort in the title so the search engine can find it.Acronyms are also not great for searching. I often spell out brine shrimp now just because bs means something different to google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I google about the etiquette of boasting about my prize-winning show turkeys at the local supermarket, this damn thread keeps popping up and ruining my day: Turkey boasters at Coles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournebetta Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Les = the point was to get people to title their threads instead of "oh no!" ......a bit more detail would be helpful for when people are searching for terms or illnesses/specifics etc. ...then we had a stab at Razzi, he started a thread about turkey boasters (incorrectly spelt, after he made the comment:) "And if you're going to be lazy with spelling elsewhere, at least make an effort in the title so the search engine can find it.
