Posting: Format/Readability
 
Example#1.
Post# 1 in the following thread demonstrates this issue.

Finished!

*************************************************

Example#2.
Trying to read a thread that is all cramped together is difficult. If you really want the best possible answer to your technical questions, it is a good idea to make each post easy to read. This means put the issue in the title, and in the body follow the industry standard of year, make model, issue, related symptoms, diagnostics you have done. If you break up/format each post for readability, more people will read, and fewer people will misunderstand what is communicated. There is no reason to cramp everything with no white space, and every reason to separate thoughts.

*Example# 2 altered for readability.

Trying to read a thread that is all cramped together is difficult.

If you really want the best possible answer to your technical questions, it is a good idea to make each post easy to read.

This means put the issue in the title, and in the body follow the industry standard of:

* Year.
* Make.
* Model

** Issue.
** Related symptoms.
** Diagnostics you have done.

If you break up/format each post for readability, more people will read, and fewer people will misunderstand what is communicated.

There is no reason to cramp everything with no white space, and every reason to separate thoughts.



Here are some threads with additional suggestions.
