That ^
Thread titles that tell you nothing about the thread in question, I personally am sick of it, party because it means I have to clik to find out what "this" is, partly because people that otherwise have no interest tend to post informing us of such and partly because it makes the thread an absolut sod to find again.

So what are your opinions, and don't bother pointing out the hypocricy.

Off topic: the moving capcha I had to do to make this thread seems desinged to make dyslexics cry.

Its probabaly an attempt to get the badge for over 1000 views or whatever it is. Although it is a little annoying, but its nothing I can't put up with.

If you mouse-over the thread you can usually see what it's about without actually clicking the link.

I'm fine either way. As long as it catches my eye, I'll probably check it out.

And Protip for Captcha: You only need to fill out one word correctly. It's fairly easy to figure out which word that is.

It's only one click and if I'm online I have time to kill anyway.

It's better than when the thread title has absolutely no relation to the topic at all.

How so? All I'm getting is the thread title repeated in a URL...

That's weird. Maybe it's something to do with your browser settings, but The Escapist enabled mouse-over thread content a few months ago.

Hm. I'll have to look into that. I try not to run too many things with Firefox, so maybe something's interfering...

Your user name is "moretimethansense" And you make this thread 0.o? It is appropriate, and no, I'm not bothered :D I'm bored enough at home here, any procrastination works fro me.

I'm getting nothing when I mouse over. What browser do you use? Maybe it's just for that one...

Also, I'm getting the "Panic! Chaos! What is this!?" thing without any words to fill in. What the fuck, Captcha?

I'm using Firefox. Also I get no Captcha at all, maybe that's a pubclub thing.

I'm not actually dyslexic, but I was tested for it recently and it was fresh in my mind.

People who write 'discuss' at the end of their post bother me more.
That word specificaly, or does the end of my post annoy you as well?

It's annoying, but not really THAT bad.
Perhaps not but I find myself clikcing on the same thread two or three time over the couse of a week or two if the thread is popular, I wasn't interested the first time!

I always imagine that non-descriptive title threads are so because they are hiding golden boobs from the general non-curious audience.

Must not be supported by Chrome, then. Ah well.
