Would you all be so kind as to put enough information in the title of your posts so that I know if I might have something to contribute to the discussion? 
It will save me lots of time. Now thast the boards are getting so busy ( a very good thing) many of us have insufficient time to read all the threads we might be able to contribute to. Hence the title is very important. With 40 active threads and 20 of them new, a title that is infomative would help, a title that tells me nothing about the content might well be ignored for lack of time.

Better titles gett better responses
Thanking you in advance....

I understand the dilemma, MV ... things are hopping around here and the volume has increased so much that many members must be selective about what they stop and take the time to read.
I do hate thinking that someone's issues may not get the attention they deserve, because of a vague post title. 
You put it so much more politely that wot I did.

MV - thank you for changing 'your' thread title

I good suggestion from someone else that I followed
Agree!
With apologies to those who have used titles like this (and I've probably done the same in the past), these are not good titles:
Newbie Here
Need Help
Got Question
Huh???
Don't Understand
CC Question
If you have a question about a collection agency, put the CA name in your title. If you're looking for a CLI on a MegaBank Diamond-Encrusted Titanium Deluxe-O CC, then put its name in the title. (If it fits, lol.)
This is really not me being cranky; this is me seeing good posts go unanswered, because the people who have info for you never read your post.
One exception to the don't-use-vague-titles suggestion, and this one I always read:
Woo-Hoo!!!

Newbie Here has problem with Capital One
Need Help writing my GW letter to Chase

Let's not forget:
Woo-Hoo!!! B&N approval! (Sorry hauling ... just couldn't resist.)
(Sorry hauling ... just couldn't resist.)I do like the expanded title suggestions. It's much easier to come up with our own titles when someone has given specific examples.
Mayhaps " Woo-Hoo!! More free books" would have done as well
