And to continue this thought ...
You don't *need* to start a New Thread every 6 hours! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/eek.gif http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/mad.gif

TRY to create a "catchy" Title - that covers Who, What, When, Where, & Why -
to really TELL folks what the thread is about ... I'm sorry, but I don't often read
threads that have super-criptic or one/two word "titles"!

And once you've picked a "catchy title" and have begun to attract an audience -
STICK WITH the Thread ... nothing I hate more than to begin replying to a nice thread -
only to find a day later it's been replaced by a "newer" thread - same subject -
but a new title. It's very hard to get the whole story and follow along when
there are multiple, overlapping threads where ONE would do just fine!

Wheew ... now I feel better!

Generrally don't either. I try to make my titles fascinate the viewer so I get more replies.

I agree to that! It would be nice if people even do quick recaps if they feel they have to start a new thread, or something...PT is growing, and it's hard to keep track of everyone's furbabes!!

Slick,
Thank you.

I cannot get onto PT often at work anymore, because I have a Nazi female boss..... so sometimes I don't know that "fluffy" took a bad turn, or if indeed I could offer constructive advice ....

Must admit the "preview" on the thread when you hover over the title helps me figure out whether I missed out on a previous thread somewhere ...

The only thing I do do, is put the word SPOT somewhere in my thread titles ..... so I can find it again ..... :D

Oh my, excellent thread..............I am sure that I do miss many posts about important things..........usually about pets.

I do see that some members have fun trying to see how many threads they can open - and I usually just avoid them.

I have found that once you open them - there isn't much substance and it was a waste of my time.

I guess this is why I stick to the people that I know well, and feel sure that I want to know what they are posting about. Not very fair to new members, but some use this as a chat room - not a forum.

Fluffy - well, wherever you are, Fluff - I hope you are doing well! :D :D

Hee Hee that's what I thought, too! I like the idea of fewer threads/more content.

But just who is Fluffy and is it/he/she better?

(sounds like we're playing "Where's Waldo"?)

Is Fluffy OK? I hope so!

There is no real Fluffy (unless one of the new members has one). I was trying to use a name that has not been used on PT. If I used the name of a real PT pet, then the member might get his/her nose out of joint thinking I was pointing fingers.

I was just trying to make a point that it's always nice to post and update and also include a link to a previous thread on that subject.

...and for those who keep starting new threads on the same subject, just know that I don't read them. There is no need to create a thread about getting a hangnail, then starting another one on how much it hurts, then a third thread giving a blow by blow account of how the hangnail was cut off, then a fourth thread on how good the finger feels now.

...and yes, I'm using the hangnail as an example as I have never seen a hangnail thread. :rolleyes:

I have to agree. Nothing bugs me more when I have no idea who/what someone is talking about because they assume everyone knows who 'fluffy' is!

Wait.. I'm lost, how is Fluffy's hang nail? Or is Fluffy still over weight?? :p :D

I agree as well, I don't have a 12 hours a day to spend searching to find out the ending to a thread I read a few days ago.

Maybe "Fluffy" has gone on holidays? ohhhh no i know to the groomers.

Slick were just teasing hehe. It's still happening though.

lol - Fluffy is today's COTD. Congratulations Fluffy. :D :D
