How to indent comment replies

Yes, this has been checked and is set to 5 levels deep. Was really hoping it was something as simple as forgetting that. 🙂

Yeah, I had a couple of friends help me get this site put together for my wife, and it seems to be a little “hacky”. The only true replies we have in there are done by my wife through wordpress dashboard. When testing Disqus plugin, these appeared correctly, so at this point, I thinking the only real way to do this easily is with a plugin (like Disqus).

comments.php is below.. I hope it all fits 🙂

Thanks for your help!
