Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - How to start a thread in General Discussion (a rant)

Completely agree on this one. Though I do get annoyed by the trend to start a thread thus:

******
LINKY
------
Huge long article pasted here
-------
Line or two comment
******

I have come to think of my threads as being like children. I want them all to grow into two pagers. I get so excited when I see that little [1,2] beside them. I also get cross with myself when they don't. Either they weren't a good topic to begin with or I haven't raised them properly! No three pagers yet, but I have faith.

I would love it if there was some way of me seeing a list of all my threads and how they were coming along. Can I do this in the "user cp"?
Also, when is something meant to be in Members Playground and when in General Discussion? I feel like a noob asking this, sorry. Only found out that the Members Playground was open to me the other day.

Anyway, I pledge allegiance to good thread starting and wish you all the best with your own 'children'.
