Please change "Create a Post" dialogs

The new forum design leads to a lot of confusion when some users click on “Create a Post” and then they don’t understand what is being requested. Here is what they see: 

 

 

Nowhere does it say “title” and so some users go ahead and enter ridiculously long titles, and sometimes there is no text because they put everything in the title. Here is an example

 

This is not an isolated example, these ridiculously long titles happens often. Another example:

 

 

The dialog box is very confusing and misleading. Perhaps a better dialog box would say the word “title” which I think is much more well understood than “Briefly describe your question”. In its place you could say something like “Please enter a title (a few words) for your question”.

 

Please consider making this change. This would make the forum much more usable for people who use the forum regularly, and this would lessen the confusion for new users trying to create a post.
