Hi all :)

There have been soooo many bad posts around here recently, I would like to give everyone a couple tips and suggestions to take into account both before you write the thread and while your in the process of writing it:

1. BEFORE you post, use the search box and check to see if the topic already exists, if so... Just comment! (unless that post is nore than 1 month old, then its jist annoying). Then, think to yourself "Would anyone really care about this? Or does anyone really want to hear about this?" there have been too many threads that have absolutly NO point to them.

2. If you have passed the first step, when you write your thread, your going to want to think up a good title, try to say what your going to talk about in the thread, but in 1 line. In other words, dont say something like "Help me" or "Selling Items" or "OMG, look!". But choose carefully! Once you choose a title, you can't change it!

3. Once you have chosen a title for your thread, try to write a constructive post that people will find interesting to read, make it fun, interesting and most importantly, make sure to stay on track with your title!

4. Once you have your thread, when replying, make sure you read all the comments and try to reply to them all in one comment. Posting more than once in a row is not a great habit!

Thanks! and I hope you all follow these tips to help the forum be awesome! Lol :)

Well actually, you can change the title.
Just go to "EDIT" and then to "Go Advanced" It should be somewhere.

No you can't. Unless you change it within seconds of posting, editing the "title" field will only change the header text for the post not the actual thread title.

How about spelling, grammar, turn off CAPS-LOCK, punctuation, etc?
