Question

It would help tremendously if everyone would separate their thoughts into paragraphs, so that many of us with vision problems, can easily read your posts.

When posts are made all in one paragraph, it makes it so hard for many people to read.  

I would appreciate your assistance SO MUCH.  This is one lady that has a hard time with my vision going haywire, when trying to read one long paragraph.  Your posts are important...I want to make sure that they are read accurately and answered appropriately.

Thank you so much.....
Heather

Wow, such an easy fix. I didn't know about Control + either! I can actually read without squinting now. Prayers and hugs for a Happy and painfree New Year!

There is an easy fix for that....Control Button (holding down) while you push the *+* button.  Banda Bing. The screen resolution is now larger.  It can be reduce by doing the opposite with the "-" key.

I find that with my trouble with visual tracking it is easier to read if each main thought is in a new paragraph separated with a double space.  I also need to see periods and capitals to keep the sentences straight.

As for CAPS, in general I find all CAPS  difficult to read, but will gladly put out the effort for those who can only read the screen when it is in CAPS, like KITT.

Thanks, Heather, for bringing this up.  

For all of you with reduced vision.  Do you know that there are screen magnifiers to make it all easier to see?  If you would like I'll find some sources of these.

Great suggestion Heather, I get confused easily when it is one long paragraph and cannot stay on the same line either.

thank you for your concern for those of us whose vision, or eyes decided to rule our world.  As you know I have to wear a patch on my left eye for at least 18 hours a day for a period of 6 months to a year.

It is easier for me to read when people write in paragraphs.  Your idea is great and it demonstrates that you are caring human beings.  Thank you for your thoughts.

bumping up...this is an important post that I am hoping all members can read today to help those with vision problems be able to praticipate more in the forum and it's posts.  Thanks for your patience, while I bump this up....

Heather3418 · Answer

There are a couple of posters whose vision is so bad they HAVE to post in all caps.   But no, posting in all caps is not necessary.

Thank you sweettheart for asking.  If you feel that posting in all caps is easier for you, than by all means, you do that.  We want what is easiest for all to read.

Happy New Year Kathy dear,
Heather

Would it help I typed in caps? 
I know what you mean about your vision, mine seems to be getting worse also.
