I am just writing a short discussion here concerning the huge amount of white space showing on certain posts here. I find it very annoying as I have to keep strolling and losing time getting to the meat of the post. Asking @GoAskAlice to please check this out for us. I am not the only user complaining about this problem. Thanks

@marlina Please take a screenshot of a discussion that looks bad with whitespace and post it here, tagging me. That will help figure out where the problem is originating. Thanks!

What colour of space would you prefer instead of white?

No space would be preferable.

@MALUSE It was too tempting to miss.

When people post they need to make sure thet run their first line right up to the edge of the box they are posting in. If they don't there will be a long period of white space.

@JamesHxstatic ....I think that it is partially. I had this happen to me and when I made sure the first line of my post was right up against the top of the box it helped considerably.

@JamesHxstatic I don't think that the users are doing that. I think there could be a flaw in the way the website is set up.

Some time ago I wrote a post concerning the site with the title 'The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly' and I also mentioned this. I find it annoying. Yet nothing has happened. My other sensible suggestions didn't lead to any improvements, either.

Pity! Double pity! I wonder why the administration @GoAskAlice did not write something about this yet then?

@akalinus I'm also glad, but improvement is easy in this case and could be done in no time, I'm sure. So why not do it?

The white space is annoying but I just scroll until I find the rest of the post. It could be better but it isn't. I am glad to have this site.

@marlina ... I think Bro (JolietJake) did it on purpose in one post...hopefully I understood your query correctly. :)

I don't think that it is done on purpose at all.

Yes, and I also occasionally find it between two comments as I scroll down reading them. I've finally learned to keep scrolling, just to see if there are more comments.

Yes, sometimes I find some comments at the end, I don't like that.

I believe I have come across that recently. Don't remember what post it was though. Perhaps it is just people hitting enter too many times before they hit the button to publish the post.

I don't believe it is caused by the users.

I think l prefer some white space than a sea of words that`s almost impossible to read.

@JamesHxstatic This is good, the white space I am talking about is much bigger than this.

I break my posts up a bit, leaving a space between paragraphs.

It doesn't happen too often for me so I can't say I'm too bothered about it so far.
