I prefer as much info as possible myself. Sometimes the subject can be |
| 24 |
one thing but because there is little info in it, it turns out to be |
| 25 |
something else. Of course, a error message can be really nice too. |
| 26 |
It's good if you are searching for the error you are having. I would |
| 27 |
rather have a long one than a short one with not enough info to know |
| 28 |
whether I can help or not. Of course, the one for this is short but |
| 29 |
doesn't mention anything about others being to long. I was hoping to |
| 30 |
see someone suggesting that people should have better than "need help" |
| 31 |
or something. Maybe it should have been " can we have shorter subject |
| 32 |
lines please" or something like that. Of course, that means it is |
| 33 |
longer. LOL |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I also wish the forum subject lines could be longer and have a special |
| 36 |
spot for "solved" as well. That is their problem tho. |
