Default Do vaguely titled posts annoy you?

Here's a pet peeve of mine.

I can see that some people practically live on this site. I don't have a ton of time to visit this site. I just jump on for a minute or two here or there at work when I get the chance. So I scroll down looking for posts that interest me for one reason or another. I keep seeing these vaguely titled posts. For example, there's one now that is titled, "Have you ever tried one of these?"

One of "what"!! Please put it in your title. I open the thread, wait for it to load (I don't have a lightning fast computer), only to see that the post is concerning something of which I don't have the slightest interest. So I've wasted my time.

Does anyone else find that annoying?

No. But instead of opening the thread you mght try putting your cursor over the thread and the beginning of it will appear and you'll have a better idea of what it's about.

You need a faster computer or possibly some Prozac.

This is the way of the web, I'd say get used to it. [8D]

Try hovering your mouse over the title for a few seconds, It will display the first line or 2 of text within the post... I use that all the time because of the title problems.

That's a good idea. I hadn't thought of that. Thank you.

As for the "wa wa wa" guy, sorry, I didn't read your reply.

And, I'm already on prozac.

Not as much as posts from someone that doesn't own a harley or ever will. Then does not offer anything to contribute but a bunch of hot air. I'll not name names; chicanagirl
