This problem has been around for ages and I'm wondering if a fix is in the pipeline?
When you post a comment on a Hub, you get two blank lines between each paragraph, and sometimes a couple more blank lines at the end of the comment.
If you post a long comment, the extra blank lines can make it very l-o-o-o-o-n-g indeed. When there are lots of comments, scrolling down can get tedious - when the comments are longer because of all the empty space, it's twice as tedious!
Personally, I always go back and edit my comment to remove the extra lines if I can.
I believe Larry's been looking into this, but I'm not sure that he's figured out what's happening yet (it's not universal). He'll be back on Monday, and hopefully can provide an update.
It's been a problem for me for ages, but just recently I'm seeing it in nearly every other comment on every Hub I visit - so either it's getting worse, or people are getting tired of editing to remove them.
oo I hope he fixes it. I'm tired of having to go back and re-edit comments to remove the spaces.
The funniest thing about it is if I go back there through hubtivity, all carriage returns disappear, and I have to add paragraph breaks again

Everybody is wondering how the team plans to remove the editbots from the stats pages. Apparently they are there to indicate that edits have been made so that writers can check their articles for correctness, but there are many questions about when and if they will be removed as there seems...

I am still new to Hubpages and have been enjoying a rather successful start. Thank you to those who have voted my articles up and those few of you who have begun to follow me. But I have noticed one thing of late and maybe it is the way it goes but I think it is disrespectful. I have commented on a...

why do people take the "comments" off?There have been a number of hubs which I have read where there is no comments section. Why do hubbers remove this box?I think it is important to keep the comments box available to not only hear from your readers, but because it is a valuable...
