    Smile Wanted: Most stupid (=best) subject

    Hi,

    I'm searching for the best subject title, especially while posting questions.

    My favourites are:
    #10: "Please solve it"
    #9: "Programming question" (of course in a programming board...)
    #8: "Debug Assertion failed"
    #7: "Noobie. Pls.hlp......."
    #6: "Need help"
    #5: "Question"
    #4: "<xxx>" where <xxx> is exactly the name of the board the post is in
    #3: "Help"
    #2: "Help!"
    #1 (Winner): "Help! Urgent!"

    Do you have other favourites?
    Suggestions?

    If this thread will have collected some nice subjects I suggest the moderators to:
    - Add a search function where I can search for posts ordered by subject quality. This will be nice ... I'll enjoy to use this function!

    With regards
    Programartist

    Re: Wanted: Most stupid (=best) subject

    "Help me fix my code. (very simple)"

    For two reasons -
    1 - It is a programming forum, fixing code is what happens here.
    2 - If it is so simple why don't you fix it yourself?

    Re: Wanted: Most stupid (=best) subject

    A real good one is How to make a compiler error?:

    There are so many threads about here... (please search!)

    See here

    Remarks section:

    The question itself is not so stupid. The OP really wants the compiler to fail if the developer makes something wrong. But anyway I think it sounds funny, doesn't it?

    Re: Wanted: Most stupid (=best) subject

    Here the subject has been "How To Create A User". Is there anybody out there reading that the same way I did? Explaining my minds is far beyond the topic of this forum and should be "child protected".

    Without any doubt, the worst subject line I have ever seen on Code Guru is.....

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.
