Editing thread titles.

A friendly reminder to all, but especially to our newer members that the title can be amended even after posting a thread.

This is especially handy for attracting attention from those most able to help or advise or, in order to ask for more help if a thread has lain dormant for a while, (instead of creating a new thread or just bumping, why not add eg Still seeking info).

The more specific the title the better really. We might all want 'help with research' at some stage, so state your case as succinctly as possible please: eg if for an individual add name, branch/nationality. That way the right reply might come along much quicker.

Also, a more relevant title certainly helps when searching through older threads for information.

Thanks and good luck.

 

Don't worry about it, Joe, we move stuff about when we spot it, not really a massive issue but it does keep things neater and a bit easier to find when things are in an appropriate area.

If you think they should be in a different forum section, just ask and we'll get 'em shifted. 'Searching for someone' or 'Allied units' might mean they're less likely to get buried - 'general' is a big old area.
