thanks for edits; question re formatting functions

thanks for your edits to my user page! looks totally fine. just one question, could you please give me a quick summary of the actual formatting features that you used? It does look better, I'm just curious as to what you did, and what features, formatting functions, etc that you used. Please ping me when you reply. thanks!! --Sm8900 (talk) 00:47, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

@Sm8900: I just used a table. Each userbox is placed in it's own cell so that they are kept apart. If you add class = "wikitable" to the opening line, this effect can be seen more clearly.

style = "margin : 1em auto" This centers the whole table.

align = "center" This actually doesn't do anything for your table. —guywan (talk • contribs) 14:31, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

that is very helpful. thanks!! --Sm8900 (talk) 13:00, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Good/ungood for list formats

No, this was an ungood change and should be reverted. The easy rule of thumb to remember is to copy-paste the line that you are replying to and then add a bullet/colon/pound sign for your own comment. Review WP:LISTGAP and associated items. --Izno (talk) 18:24, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

• @Izno: Thanks, m8. I appreciate you letting me know. I think what I was going for was this:

* Comment
** Reply 1
** Reply 2
*** Comment to Reply 2

• I find that the little 'dots' next to individual comments helps me a bit. Would this have been better? —guywan (talk • contribs) 18:45, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

  Yes, that is also acceptable, but generally you should not modify other people's choice of bullet unless you are correcting an issue such as the one I identified. --Izno (talk) 20:08, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
