Re: What's with the automatic titles in posts?
Pretty annoying. Highly, actually. Some titles are worse than others.
Putting it in a single h1 tag towards the top would be more effective in my opinion than spamming every post with it for keyword reach.
The little inline image that you have with alt tag isn't a bad idea either.
But it seems like overkill to negatively impact the user experience in the interest of SEO. There are plenty of good alternatives.

Re: Hello, I'm a title!
I have to go with they make the screen too busy. I'd go without them if there was a user CP function to turn them off. That way you can still get your keyword density credits and my eyes won't have to deal with the titles.

Yeah, it's hard to know what thread I'm in when I use tabs.

Re: Hello, I'm a title!
They probably wouldn't be so objectionable if they weren't bolded.

Re: What's with the automatic titles in posts?
Is there anyway the titles can be put in the blue header of the post (and not bolded)? That would be win-win-win. Or can they be in white, so the search engines will see them, but we don't have to?

The hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius), from the Greek ἱπποπόταμος (hippopotamos
ιππος hippos meaning "horse" and πόταμος potamus meaning "river"), often shortened to "hippo", is a large, mostly plant-eating African mammal, one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae (the other being the Pygmy Hippopotamus). It is the heaviest extant artiodactyl, though quite a bit shorter than the Giraffe.
I was just thinking that. Visually, any text breaks up the thread. Signatures are bad enough, but we've trained ourself to go to the blue line and read what's after that. It just makes it visually cluttered.
Avatars don't really do that since they are way on the left and don't break up the flow of the thread. On the other hand, I think they make it easier to quickly visually identify who is posting something (provided people keep their avatars for a long enough time).

Why not replace the bolded script with some additional useful keywords, if it's being done for the benefit of Google and search engines and not the users?

I'm not really bothered by it.

Agree about the Avatars though, i've gotten used to scanning for my Lakers logo to find my post quickly.

Me either. Although it's a great distraction from what's going on in this thread.....
