A good title typically includes most of the following:
 +
 +
*Very brief description of problem/question/issue.
 +
*Details on make/model or application.
 +
*
 +
</font>

Ideally, you want to '''attract''' as many qualified people as possible to your thread title. The right title will encourage them to click through and read your thread.
