7. If you are making a big edit you will need to copy and paste your code. You Mac users will find that ":"needs to be in inserted in the first line of your code and SourceCoder does like our Little "L" and want there big "L" which they correctly changed in the original upload but does not happen in your big edit and the syntax checker get mad.
