Please could Members have a think about the type of titles they are using for threads.
This is for your sake as your choice of title may make a difference to if someone answers your thread or not.
When people look through the 'Active Topic' list they tend to look at the title and make a decision there and then if they have the experience to answer the thread before they even click to read your thread.
It therefore helps if your title lets the reader know about your thread.
There have been quite a few threads recently with titles such as "please Help me" "read this" or just "I need Help"...... These titles although 'dramatic' may tend to get ignored even though the poster needs help.
Titles saying more about your problem are more likely to get you a reply..... such as "panicking about my headache" or "worried about my Heart tests tomorrow" may get more replies as people with experience who can give advice or help will know what the thread is about
Many Thanks
