Please accept my humble suggestion.

I want to ask a favor from all of you. This may be just because I am on the far side of forty, but I am having a terrible time reading the posts.

WE are having a lot of new people and/or old people with new problems. Sometimes everything gets written in one looooong paragraph. I have to admit when I see that I just click out and go to a different thread. So sorry, but the print all runs together and I can't read it as it is too much strain and stress.

I would appreciate it if you folks could please make a new paragraph every so often. You don't even have to change the subject, just a new paragraph to separate the lines and make for easier reading. Thanks folks, Irish

Great idea.  I also have difficulty with the "jumping icons".  They are so cute....yet incredibly distracting.  I have to hold a paper up to cover them up while I read.

I agree.  I agree.  If you post long, as i tend to, make each paragraph a couple or three lines and then some white space.   Or even better if it's real long, make 2 separate posts.  Lucy

Do you know I feel really guilty.  My eyes are rubbish and I haven't thought about paragraph size or text size.  Also some people use colours that are difficult to read (pale or with poor contrast against the white background). 

I am going to take this on board and make sure my posts are bold and clear.  However (I know I'm thick), I can't work out how to change anything.  When I highlight the text and try to change size or colour, the instruction just comes up in brackets on the text.  So heeeeeelp!

Irish,


Thanks for speaking up for the rest of use who are visually challenged.  I too skip over long posts that are not broken up into paragraphs.

Hi Lindaneall,

I'm guilty of the jumping critters, and I do apologize for that (I will try to limit those)!

Ditto, I do exactly what Irish does...click.

Hi Irish,
I do try to do this and do completely agree and understand...I too find it difficult to read long messages which are not broken up into paragraphs.
So I'll keep this in mind each time I go off on a rant of somesort in the future.

As I newby, I'm happy to learn and receive such guidance on forum do's/don't/suggestions.

Now, if they would let us run the country we would get things done in the snap of a finger!!!!!An agreeable group aren't we. Irish

Wish I could. My computer kicks me off line when I hit the tab. I've lost hours of painfuleyed two finger typing.     So i try do put spaces in, it's all I know to do.   sorry.

[Joy Cox]

Hey Rostradamus , Just hit  Enter couple times on right side of keyboard and it will double space and create a new

paragraph. Suggestion from one that is learning to compensate... It works as just tried it on this message. Give it a try!!!

[Billydude]

I agree.  Or just condense your post.  If I see a post thats too long I just skip over it.
