Hi, Nathaniel. Please see [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831) and then hit the pencil icon under your post to fix it. Preserving the indentation on Python scripting is important.

Also, there's general Reply button on the thread but there's also one on each post and when you use that the user gets a notification and it's obvious then who you are replying to.
