This thread will surely die a swift death, but it might help to have a note somewhere when someone starts a new thread in this forum to include a hint as to the nature of the problem.

Maybe when someone clicks 'new thread', something in bold just above the empty thread's title space along the lines of, 'Please indicate in your title the exact nature of the problem, eg: can't send messages. Just typing 'help' is, well, not very helpful! 🙂

Good idea, but I would expand it to all forums (obviously the exact message would have to be different for other forums). I hate it when I open an innocent-looking thread, and it turns out to be about football.
