Yep just that !

If a post is more than a well spaced paragraph I simply just can’t read it or retain the reason for the thread.

So I just wanted to say I’m not ignoring people it’s just my inability to read long threads.

Cheers

I have this problem sometimes too. I think probably quite a few of us do. Frequent paragraph breaks are a REAL help. Still, I rarely make it through a long one. No slight intended here either. Thanks for posting this. (Even though I am sure you wouldn't intend to ignore anyone already. )

I'm iffy on it. Sometimes I can get through them and sometimes I cant. I admit that I will try harder if it's a regular poster and its unlike them to be long winded. I just worry.
Thanks for this!

I also struggle with posts unless they are short. Or words well spaced out.

I also have great difficulty reading long posts, even more so if the posts are not broken into paragraphs.

Same here, can't seem to write long or detailed posts anymore either. I keep suspecting that mine is med related, but I guess its worth the trade off.

The "wall of text" posts are all but impossible for me to read. I just don't have that kind of ability to focus. I don't mean to ignore people, but unless the post is broken up into paragraphs I can't deal with them.

I learned speed reading in elementary school, and I can still skim paragraphs to find the gist of things. Long walls of text, though--no.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
