Many members of this site make their posts with no break in the text (or very few breaks)

This gives long, exhaustive texts that are hard to read. They are so hard on my eyes and comprehension that I have to quit.

Just break them up every few lines. They don't need to be paragraph correct, just broken up for the eyes.

Thanks for listening.

First off this is not about 'listening' but reading.

As to your suggestion... Really? How is this about photography? We are not taking English 101.

I agree. Also some posts are so long I lose interest and scroll past or quit reading the thread all together.

No this is not about English but if you want people to read what you have to say proper grammar, punctuation and paragraphs will get your point across much better. A forum is about written communication does not matter the subject...

Some people don't believe in paragraph's.

Exactly, so if you want your post read, it might be a good idea to format it (including the use of paragraphs) in such a manner as not to create too much "noise" on the communication path.

Paragraphs, spelling and punctuation all help with that.

This is a Photography Forum. Discussing communications relates to the Forum part.

But you knew that.

Really? The last post you made in this section was not about photography. Perhaps you didn't realize where this topic was posted when you responded. It could also be a reading comprehension issue.

I was just ranting to someone yesterday about rampant mis-use of apostrophes by writers on UHH. 99.9% of nouns do NOT take an apostrophe in order to show the plural form, including paragraphs.

In main photography discussion forum today is yet another complaint about the lack of information in topic titles. This one happened to refer to topics with photos. I thought that earth-shattering problem was solved with the addition of a "newest pictures" thumbnail view feature.

I have more suggestions; is anyone listening?
