I can not even begin to say how annoying the utter lack of formatting that is available on Acom. I am talking about Several media places across the site.

Comments. We are trying to share vital data with other people. What we get from comments is more like alphabet soup then a readable message. God forbid there are a lot of dates and places mixed into the comment.

Descriptions. Same as comments. No matter what you put in a comment it turns into one long sentence. Wall of text.Not to mention the tiny little amount of information that we are restricted to in a description.

Stories.You spend 15 minutes writing a story and save it. You notice that you forgot one thing and click edit. The entire story is a block of text at the top of the page.

Thousands of free websites manage to run forums where you can format your posts.

I am not that hip on the technical side of what it would take to fix these but it needs to be addressed. It drives me insane.

Anyway just my Idea of some of the things that would improve the over all experience of ACOM.
