Hello!

Thanks a lot for your post!  Note the corrections made to your English.  Glad to see you are practicing typing as well. 

Here’s a note about the title.

we thanksed alot for your trying

First:  “thanksed” - It’s either “thanks” (plural of thank) or “thanked” (past tense of thank). 

Second:  The question is, trying what?  What did I try that you are thanking me for?  Trying to set up a website?  Then say “Thanks for this website”.  Cut the “we” and the “alot” and you’ll have a clearer title. 

Third:  # means “insert space”.  ## means “insert two spaces.”

More:  You can simply wish people health and good luck.  “I wish you health and good luck.”  Not “be healthy”.

As the person who initiated this thread, you should be able to edit your title.  Try changing it to:

Thanks for this website!

Also, I looked up “thanks” on merriam-webster.com, and the root is related to the word “think”!

Etymology:
  plural of Middle English thank, from Old English thanc thought, gratitude; akin to Old High German dank gratitude, Latin tongēre to know

It means kindly or grateful thoughts.

By the way, you may want to edit your initial post (you can click the “edit” button below the post) and correct the errors.  I have copied the editing here for people to take a look at the “before” post to learn from it.
