What do you like: Small title or long title for your discussion?

It all depends on the discussion and my mood. Sometimes, I want to convey the idea of the discussion in the title, other times, I want to add a little suspense so people may have their curiosity peaked enough to look at it.

I guess I use shorter titles. Something that may catch the interest of someone browsing and get them to want to read my discussion. Longer titles are good too. I haven't seen a cap on letters in a title either. That's good though..sometimes we need longer titles.

I haven't written a discussion in so long that this isn't one that I can really give a good answer to. It does remind me thought that I need to begin starting more discussions though.

It doesn't matter for me, but if I have to choose I will choose the short ones. Short titles that sum up the all subject you want to discuss about are my favers. Of course sometimes you can write down a short title, and without a choise you write down a long title.

I always use small titles and have the liking for the same. I think every one is in hurry and thus do not have much time to read such a big headline for just choosing the discussion. I think a shorter tittle gives a better idea as in what the discussion is all about. So people can easily select or discard according to their interests. So thats the reason for a shorter headline.

i like samll titles which can give people a good impression . too long to see ,it will make people feel bored of it and it really doent worthing doing it at all :)

For my discussions the title must have some sort of impact and it must be on only one line. I find a lot of users are lazy here and think the the more responses they post the better it is. They don't realise that often one good response is worth more than two short ones but they are in a hurry to move on to the next discussion that they don't have time to read the title if it's long, let alone the discussion itself (no to mention the responses already posted! ) I often try and make a title imply something else. The one that comes to my mind was the 'Is yours a big one?' title. The discussion had nothing to do with what many thought it was

For me it depends on the discussion...normally I give small titles but they are normally enough for the reader to read the discussion and decide if they want to answer or not, littleowl

I prefer writing a small title.It becomes easy for the person to respond to my discussion.If i make the title very long a person may feel bored and will not respond to my discussion.If we have a long title we can put continue it in the discussion or we can write the whole title in the end of the discussion putting a simple title on top.

I also want the idea of the discussion to be clear in the title but I like to keep it as short as possible. So if there's some way I can explain the idea with only a few words, I'll go with that.

It doesn't really matter to me. But most of the time I also use long titles to my discussion so that the reader will understand what the idea of the discussion is all about.

I don't mind either although some of the best titles I have seen are short, clever and original. A clever title should create an interest to read further. Some I have seen are worded in such a way that can be deceiving until you read on. I guess posting a good title is probably an art in itself. I'm going to keep practicing!

Hmmm never though on such trivial matter before, short or long is not a problem. The important think is the tittle need to describe the discussions in the shortest sentence possible. BR.b

I prefer a small title and make it strait to the point.

It depends. Any of the two, whether short or long title as long it is acceptable. Why make it long when we are supposed to discuss on limited wordings. It also depends on the topic you would like to discuss.

I prefer to use a title that is not long. because people will read our discussion not only the title, important that the title and content of the discussion appropriate. swap

I don't think long or short is as much of an issue as titles that will catch people's attention and make them visit your discussion and post a response. I had one about travel but because of the title it attracted people who thought it was about a movie of the same title.

I like small ones as long as I can grab their attention with it. I like long titles because I am wordy and tend to overexplain. I like to include everything it's about in one sentence but it's pretty much impossible. When looking for titles, I tend to go for the longer ones actually because I like to know what's it about before I read it.

For me, small or big titles are does not matters... What i know and think, i have to type something relevant for my discussions title.

I prefer a short title, because I think they should always be in the short and precise
