Helloo all

When creating a title for your topic or thread can you please give a full description. I hate to admit it but it is one of the things I do actually agree with Glen Stevens about (owner of stampboards).

Titles such as "Scott #341" leave me a tad irritated. Not every one uses Scott references and for every other country apart from the USA, I use something else entirely.

For our members and guests for whom English is not the first language, a full description can only be of a benefit.

Regards

Gavin

Oh yes please!

as a recent refugee from Stampboards , I have to agree with Gavin on this . Some of the one or two word titles used here are not informative enough about the topic to be discussed.Even if listed in a country sub topic , the name of the country should appear in the topic title so that readers may clearly appreciated what the thread is about, and if it is a question needing help it would be sensible to make that clear.

just a Scott number or “red penny” or “postmark” or “Washington” etc is really not enough of a title.

what ever it is , it's better than a poke in the eye from a wet umbrella!
