SARGE Posted May 20, 2007 Gentlemen, Just a random thought here but what did you find? Wouldn't it be better to say, "A New Constabulary Patch" or "A Flea Market Helmet" rather than "I Found This Yesterday" in the topic title? Then the reader has some idea of what you are trying to show. I think that identifying what you aquired in the topic title would get more views from folks who might have an interest in whatever it is you found recently. Just my two-cents.

pbuchh7715 Posted January 27, 2012 Greetings, Just wanted to bump this to the top; there seems to be a lot of "look what i found" subject lines as of late. Not trying to be critical of anyone's posts but I'm more likely to look if the subject line wasn't so vague. I believe others might feel the same.

48stars Posted November 22, 2013 Just noticed this thread and I'm very guilty of these kind of headlines, will keep this in mind from now on. Makes perfect sense for searching purposes as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter Whittaker Posted January 17, 2015 I'm new to this forum and have some helmets I would like to share that I have recently found but haven't figured out how to post my own topic any help would be appreciated!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cutiger83 Posted August 13, 2015 It has been a couple of years since this topic has been mentioned. While we know that everyone is excited regarding their "latest finds" or "haul from this weekend", it would be very helpful if you mentioned what you are posting rather than a random generic title. You may even get more hits on your post. ....Kat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doinworkinvans Posted August 13, 2015 Thank you Kat And yes please keep this in mind for all involved when starting your threads.
