Please, when writing posts, separate your thoughts by paragraphs. It is extremely hard to read threads that do not have dividers/paragraphs in them. Long posts especially get to me, since the lines all start to run together as well as the authors thoughts. So remember, when preparing a post to the forum, separate long posts by returns/dividers/paragraphs.

Any other suggestions?

Good point Lynn, I agree - some posts can be verrrrry long lol

I'll add that I know some people use all caps or no caps because they find it's easier to read for them, but I actually skip those entries because I find it difficult to read anything in all caps.

I won't read the overly long posts. I think there are others with the same feeling.

I agree with lila4now.... well all of you, I hope I am not guilty of that .....not sure but I do know my gramer and spelling is rotten...sorry to you all for that :)

Koda I don't recall you writing excessively long posts so I don't think this was mentioned with you in mind.

I guess I am guilty as charged.

Also, I wish we had spell check. It is not so much that I do not know how to spell as much as my fingers are disobedient and some times do what the want.

Due to many different issues with MS, I think it's understandable when sentences may go on and on and spelling errors are made. We all have different problems, and some may require all CAPS so that they can read the posts. I don't think anybody was intentionally targeted! MS messes with our cognitive abilities as well, so we may begin a post about a particular subject, and it may end on a completely different note. But that's okay, because it's just who we are, and are all at different places with this disease! :)

Hey guys, I did not post this for a bitch fest on people's posts.

Just try to keep paragraphs between your thoughts when you write posts please? I love so reading everyone's threads, but long ones make it very difficult without thoughts being separated by paragraphs.
Thanks - Lynne
