Well, first the holeless leaves are either of two reasons:
1- Feeding, swiss cheese plants like to be well fertilised, there leaves are holed to stop the leaves from tearing in the huricane winds,
2- The reason your leaves are not forming properly is probably because of a lack of sunlight but i have a plant in the shade and it seems to be doing fine-

You say the leaves are "thinning out" if you have pictures it will help to no end :)
And by the way that forum you commented on was mine :D Im also new to daves garden-
I have a very healthy swiss cheese plant, i simply water it when it gets dry and keep it in filted light conditions- another thing it may be is if the leaves have dust on them for a prolonged time it prevents the plant fom "breathing" this is unlikly but may happern,

I dont feel i have helped much so, if you have any other questions feel free to ask!
:) Good Luck!
