Wrong depth of indentation

You might like to know that when I just did this edit, discussion tool failed to include the correct number of colons for indenting my answer.

This occurred because the first comment in that section has an invalid signature (it doesn't link to the user page), causing it not to be detected, and thus causing the indentation of the other comment to be detected incorrectly.

I see. Thanks for explaining – albeit that it is allowed to have such a signature, at least on dewiki. But now we know what needs to be improved in the tool.

As a result of the New requirements for user signatures, that style of signature will (eventually, maybe next year) be disallowed by the software. You won't be required to have a link specifically to the User: page, but every user will need to have one (direct) link to the account.

Thanks for explaining. I see. So, you'll probably not fix this problem because it does not need to be addressed any more.
