Your signature

Could you please change the | characters between T, C, and E-mail in your signature to | so it won't mess up {{VINFO}}? Also, {{REVISIONUSER}} doesn't work the same because of the update, so your edit notice currently says "Hello, , welcome to my talk page!" when someone edits this. →Dynamic|cimanyD← (contact me) 17:51, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
