Here's my suggestion after a few years of answering questions on discussion forums.....
Always write a good title that tells people WHAT you want help with - use just a few words like,
Tools needed to remove oxidation on my boat?
Never do this,
Help!
See my article here,
How to write a good title for your thread (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/introduce-yourself/20306-how-write-good-title-your-post.html)
And this is helpful too.....
A tip to help yourself get great answers when you start a thread (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/tips-techniques-how-articles-interacting-discussion-forums/29344-tip-help-yourself-get-great-answers-when-you-start-thread.html)
And of course, hit the [ENTER] key once in a while and break up HUGE CHUNKS of TEXT into smaller bite-size sections to read.
People simply won't read huge chunks of text - its' too hard for they eyeballs to track from the end of once sentence to the beginning of the next sentence after about 3-4 sentences.
When new members post threads that have HUGE chunks of text, I'll go in and EDIT their post and break-it up just so I CAN READ IT.

Reasonably good grammar always helps too. Sometimes when reading these forums I have to shake my head because I can’t figure out what the person is saying because his grammar is so poor.
Proofreading and spell checking your post does wonders!
