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




And this is helpful too.....


A tip to help yourself get great answers when you start a thread



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!
