Generally don't read them. They're often rants that don't make a point.

 

I also skip over any post that uses a tiny font. Not worth my time to decipher. Ditto for colored fonts. Very annoying.

It is my opinion that the worst, by a huge margin, revision they did with this new board is making it where people could change fonts, font size, and font color.   It's just murder on the eyes for some.  Uniformity is much better.  Smiley Happy

Nope because I have the attention span of a gnat.

I read them if time permits. There are some gifted writers on the forums and I enjoy their posts.

[ Edited ]

I will read them if they are written well and by that I mean:

  • That they are not in all caps
  • No too huge or too small font or harsh colored font
  • Things are mostly spelled correctly/good grammar (so I don't have to read one sentence 3 times to figure out what they are trying to say)
  • It helps tremendously if long posts are broken up into little paragraphs or bullet points
  • Also obviously depends on the topic.  If it is a question I asked, I will always read every reply--if I ask for opinion and someone takes the time to type one out, I will always read them all (even if it fails on all of the above!  Smiley Very Happy)
