Hey everyone....

Now don't get mad at me - I have been guilty myself...

I wanted to bring an issue to everyone on PTO and that is around the "Title" of our posts and threads....

PTO is growing! Growing fast! I am seeing new members come in everyday! This is a really good thing!

We are an information resource that from my humble opinion beats any other on the Internet when it comes to prison support - and especially information that is state specific and country specific!

I often find myself wanting to refer a new member - or even an existing member - to a particular post where I know that information exists and they should have this information. I get constantly frustrated trying to find this information from the past and search as I may sometimes I come up empty handed. Often times I know the information in the post but the title of the post does not relate to the information!

We ALL post very valuable information here and many benefit from this information. Let's try to make it as easy as possible to find.

When posting new information, please try to make the 'Title' of the post reflect the subject of the information within.

Where it applies, please post the name of the prison and/or the state or country that you are posting about.

When you are asking a question, try to put a key word that the question refers to in the Title. (The subject of the question)

Please just look at the 'Title' that you give a post and ask if anyone would know what information was contained inside the post by the Title?

This request is NOT directed at anyone - it is just a general request so that information is easily found as we grow and grow and grow!

Oh, and you may see from time to time that the title of your post has been changed? If this does happen, please do not be offended, it is simply a Moderator at PTO modifying the title to more properly reflect the information within! Usually we will just add to the title that you have already given!

Thanks for listening and thanks for helping to keep all the valuable information that we bring here at our finger tips!

I try too, but emme keeps changing my title,,,,lol i am teasing for real.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY I THINK YOU'VE ALL BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB....

:dance:

This is a wonderful idea Teb. I have been guilty too as all have because my brain does not keep up with my fingers.

I am really trying to watch that, because I have gone back and realized that the Name does not fit the subject...

Well, I know that some post titles have been changed lately and some members get upset by this...

If we change a title it is not a personal attack by any means. Please don't take it personally! Please.

This is a massive database of information and if the title represents what is inside of the post then not only can you decide if you want to read and respond but if you are looking for it later then you can actually find it!

I can not tell you how many times I know the information exists somewhere and I search and search and then I finally find it under some obscure title that has nothing to do with what is inside of it...

Again - it is for the greater good of the information that we have collected and will continue to collect and acrhive...

Nothing personal - Oh, and all the Moderators will be involved in changing titles - if they need to be changed...

Case in point...

I just changed the title of this post because in looking at it, it did not really state clearly what it was about...

It used to read... "The Title of your post or thread... Ack!"

((Guilty)) but trying to reform. ;)

lmbo. Teb was trying to make a point and he got a load of confession,, :)

so i'm not crazing....wow....and i thought i had forgotten that i wrote those extra words in my title...wheeew...lol
