What if we used code in our title bars? Maybe FUN to begin a title about something silly or humorous?

ANI for animal pictures and stories not in the Pet Lovers?

It has become sometimes difficult to tell from titles what topics really are about.  For people in a hurry, someone taking a quick look it would be nice to know more about what you are opening IF the title isn't a clue.

Maybe you need a funny--and it would help to know where they are.

What 'ya think?

What's a GREAT idea.  There is an over abundance of daily animal jokes and funny photos.

🙉  So what is the real issue here ?

People no longer know how to spell individual words, and use them in full sentences? Or are they just too lazy and in too much of a hurry?

You mean we won't have thread titles like:

I wonder

How does

What the heck?

Do you like these?

Most thread titles are self explanatory. It takes two seconds to leave a thread if not interested.

Totes ridic!  LOL!

I see your good intentions @Sooner  but I wonder if you'll get much cooperation.  People are often resistant, or forgetful, when various demands/requests are made - enlarge the font, do this, don't do that, etc. When new people join, they won't know about it.  And, truth be told, if someone is in a hurry they can save perusing the forum until they have time rather than requiring the rest of us to remember to do something extra to accommodate.  As @VanSleepy said, it an easy click out if it's not of interest.

I used common abbreviations in a post last week and was told by another poster that my incessant use of abbreviations lost her.  🤷‍♀️

@ManyMeows  Funny you should mention ___ I am none of those just wanted to appear relevant and made the 'mistake' of using YT (on another blog) and totally got reamed out. Won't be doing that again!!!

@Sooner  My vote is 'No'.

I wouldn't mind it.   I  don't particularly like having to open a thread to see what it is about because you then might create a view of the thread that you really wanted to ignore.  Not a big deal but just how I feel.  Yes, I know I can just skip over the thread but I think we as posters should be responsible enough to post clearly and  I personally don't like "teaser" headings either.  And, yeah misspelled words and initials bother me too as I am a very literal person.

And I do skip over threads and ignore some posters.   Those of us who wish to code could do it and those who don't want to could skip.
