Remember, the In-Depth Discussion forum is to be used for discussing puzzles, assignments, clues, and questions about a video series. Properly naming threads is very important to ensuring that people can find them and contribute in the right place.

To name new threads, please use the following style:

series name - [type of discussion (in brackets)] - your title/question

For example:

HSA - [assignment] Due date?
Facility J - [puzzle] New interpretations
itscassie - [question] What does the sign language mean?
Sister - [SOLVED] To OpAphid

Please note that a moderator may rename a thread or ask that you do so if improperly named. Note also that not all old threads will be renamed according to this style (due to all of our time constraints)

Hmm, there's an inconsistency between the template and the examples. Should the template be:

series name - [type of discussion (in brackets)] your title/question

or the examples be:

HSA - [assignment] - Due date?
etc.

Oh I am so niggly and pedantic :-)

The only difference I see is the second "-". let's just say it's optional. :)

Okiedokie. You are less niggly and pedantic than I am. That's probably not hard :-)
