Is it just me or are we seeing more and more thread titles that bear no resemblance to the subject matter or are just completely vague. Such a waste of time opening them. Very mini rant over.

To be fair you don't mention it's a rant.



So this isn't about knitting difficulties then??

I've been drinking, watch out NSC!!!
 




I agree this is something that should be looked at. On a PC, hovering over the thread title on TBB will bring up a box with the gist of the thread, which is a highly useful feature. Does this work on any of the phone operating systems e.g.Android?
I hate those titles like "What if......." etc, and I don't even bovver to hover if I'm very busy.


BTW why doesn't Hover have two Vs in it? It looks like it means a resident of Hove!

Do you mean like this little beauty, which turns out to be about grumpy old men?
