No, not silly....

The site refers the article by the original title everywhere.

But in all threads of the same forum/article area, it give different titles.

Imagine, a thread having 30 replies. The same title will get repeated 30 times on a single page. This would look even more silly.

Good users, knows that the Connect automatically picks up first few words as subject, so they carefully write subject of their choise, instead of automatic route.

I'm not saying to repeat the title on every post. I'm saying to REMOVE the title from every post. "Good users" don't need to create a new title on every post. It's a "discussion thread" about a single subject...the title is already set and displayed prominently at the top of the page. If the replies require a different title, maybe the reply should really be a new thread. Imagine a thread having 30 replies and each of the posters decide to put a title on their own topic. That is silly. 

I'm just trying to offer suggestions to improve the forum. As I look through the posts, it's pretty clear that we don't have many "good users" because we're not using titles correctly. Rather than blame the people who post, and label them as "bad users," I thought perhaps we could get to the root of the problem.

What Looking Around wants is to Remove the titles from the replies and not the start of the thread. Very few give titles to their replies.

I guess the title would be there knowing that issues are handled on this site and that it would take a long several comments and to eliminate the factor of scrolling up and down regarding the topic would lessen the amount of time spent on an issue.

My views are titles helps....

I agree that a title is required to give an idea for the post but it should not be a mandatory check. It should be allowed to be skipped if the user doesnt put in anything and not get the initial words out of the post and make it look more like silly abruptly ending one liner.

I like the titles, they're good for scanning the thread

I'd vote for removal.... ;)

there must be a reason why the reply threads have titles in the first place.

I was just able to scroll through this list and at a glance was able to get the gist of the discussion -- because of the titles.

This very thread showed me how useful these titles can be.

Hmmm....titles or no titles.
This would only work if the first sentence is the main subject.
Maybe for those who doesn't use the titles, have a setting to disable succeeding titles or just change the format for the titles of replies. Or make the main title a little bit darker.

the titles per comment if carefully given attention would give the gist/ essence of what the person wants to relay in his comment... if we practice to put something intel-ligible there, then someone could scan the thread and get a peek on what the e-mail trail is all about...

just my thoughts...

thanks...

titles dont really matters..
it the content that counts...

Never silly . It makes the member easily find the topic

I think the title on the first post in a thread is all thats needed as it is the subject of the thread everything below that is a direct responce to that subject therefore does not require any title

The subject matter does not change so why should there be new titles

I vote to remove the title from any responce to an existing posting

Yup, I agree Title should not be there for reply.
