Would they delete it?
Does anyone here think they would read a *very, very, very* long question? Will the Advicenators team delete it because it's too long? What id I have to slit it into 2 questions?
Thank you all in advance! I will put the link in additional info for anyone who's interested! It'll hopefully be up in a few days, maybe a week. This question is important to me so I want to know how everyone will react to it and if you'll actually read the whole thing.

Long questions is not the problem. The problem with long questions are they tendd to have run on sentences. They have information not pertenent to your question.
As DangerNerd said fomatting helps a lot. When I respond I like to refer back to what you have written. Proper paragraphing is important. If there is a change in your subject matter, even slightly, start a new paragraph.
Take your time, use proper english. Some of us are older and do not understand today's street slang.
Most of all take your time and reread your question. Make sure it says what you want to say.
There are time when a question will cause me to do some resarch for an answer or I may want to do some more thinking on my answer before I send it. Since I cannot save what I write on this program I use my word program to prewrite my answer and save it until I am ready to answer. You may want to do the same. This allows you to take all the time you need to write your question When you have all the information you need to send us, you copy and paste into our program. This also gives you to use the spell check program within the word program to use.

DangerNerd's answer is pretty good. I'd just like to add, be sure to lay it out properly i.e. break up paragraphs, use full stops etc, so that it is easier for us to read!

Since I have had control of this site, no question has been deleted for being too long. Never.
In fact, it really amazes me when people will type FIVE lines and then proceed to apologize for it being so long! :-)
General rule of thumb: More details are better, endless rambling about nothing is bad.
Take all the space you need to express the problem, but if you begin to feel like you are just rambling about things that won't help people answer you, then step back a bit.
As to will people read it all: Well, some people will, and those people who have the attention span of a gnat headed for a windshield will not.
Piece of advice: Ignore those people. Don't write your question for THEM. You don't want their advice anyway, if you get what I am saying.
