Many of us are on this site for hours and hours. We like it here. :thumbup:
This said, when I post, I make it a habit of spacing my sentences double. I like it when others do this. You have to hit enter twice.
It reads SO much easier. I can take it in, word for word.
The internet is different than reading a book. All news sites give quite a bit of spacing to the text. (1.5+?) They understand. (See this example)
I did a quick search and found in this post that there is a setting in VBulletin (the forum software) to change the spacing. It would take some time, but the overall effect would be dramatically easier on the eyes.
Below, I found an example of a post which I simply CANNOT read. Here on this site. They didn't hit enter. Not even once. LOL!
(My apologies for the user on this example, but I'm also thankful to you.
It establishes my example.)
I linked to a site in that thread where the admin changed it to 135% (maybe more now?) They rambled on as well without hitting a line break. What a difference. Here it is below.
There may be some who would oppose a change (more scrolling?), but I think we'd get used to it REALLY quickly. The above BF example is extreme, but even on posts where the user simply went line ONE line break, there would be more spacing.
Would this be feasible?
Thanks for your consideration.
