Message board

I replied there. Not sure if anyone else will comment there or not. You might consider asking the other users you have interacted with to comment there. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:44, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

A couple of notes about formatting and indenting replies

Greetings! I've replied to the thread at Wikipedia:External links/Noticeboard concerning the Go[NC_county].com websites. It was a little hard to follow the discussion due to the formatting, so I indented your most recent reply.

On talk pages, colons are used to indent levels of comments. Each paragraph within a reply should generally be indented to the same level (same number of colons), so it creates a tree effect to the reader:

This code: Initial comment by A :Reply by B ::Reply to A to B :::A very long :::reply by :::user C ::::Reply by D to user C :User E goes back to reply to A's initial comment

Produces this output: Initial comment by A Reply by B Reply to A to B A very long reply by user C Reply by D to user C User E goes back to reply to A's intial comment

It'll start to become more familiar with practice, but I hope you can see how the visual effect works to create cues to the reader of which user made which comment and what the comment was in reply to. —C.Fred (talk) 14:57, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, C.Fred! I hope that my most recently reply is more legible.
