No problem! Another word of advice, when you reply in a discussion, start your line with successive numbers of colons (:) to make it indent, like the following fake discussion. ~Charmlet ^-talk- 18:41, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fake discussion[edit]

Hey, cars are cool!

Oh yeah, I love cars! What's your favorite?

My favorite is Ferarri!

I like Ford!

Ford is bad, I hate it.

I like Saab.

I don't like cars, I think they are too overpriced.

In this case, you can see that the comments in bold and italics are replying to "cars are cool", the comments in bold are replying to the "what's your favorite" comment, and the comment in italics is replying to "I like ford"

Hope this helps ~Charmlet ^-talk- 18:41, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, Thanks again! Patchup1234 (talk) 18:45, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
