Tips for getting you're treads veiwed
-Make sure that you've put it in the forum that matches what the thread is about. If you put "NEW GAME!" in Inpiration and More, you won't get many veiws.
-Make sure that the forum meets people's interests. If people couldn't care less, you won't get any veiws.
-Post when a lot of people are online,or when nobody's online. If you're the only one online,People will see it after they get on, and It will be the first post they will look at. If you post when a lot of people are online, there's the risk of people posting on other threads and then yours may fall to the bottom of the list. *You can tell how many people are online at the bottom of the forum front page.
-Make sure the title tells what it is about, and make it so that people will want to click on it, and see what it's about.
-Use the tips above, and you're posts may fly up into the top.

Hmm... I never thought about the one about how many people are online.

Nice tips!
Maybe you should post this type of thing in Show and Tell... more people will see the tips.

Actually, I like to post my threads when it's late... a bunch of people come on after that.

Hmm, interesting, but I'm a bit concerned about some of the tips posted.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this... interests can be a bit subjective (ie. even if the topic doesn't interest all Scratchers, it may still prove to be significant). Or is this tip supposed to be clumped in along with the 'post in the appropriate form' tip?

I'm not quite too sure about this either. I think here a better tip here would be to find a way to keep the topic conversation interesting and current when there are a lot of people online so people would be inclined to view and reply to the thread.
