Maya Extrude Issue

EbonyStallion

When I extrude faces in maya 2011, I have to use edit mesh-> merge every time because if I don't, the faces won't be together. For example, I can extrude faces out of my object, try to move a vertex, and the vertex ends up not being attached to the rest of them. Here's a pic from a neck that I just extruded. Did i hit a wrong button somewhere? This is happening with all of my scenes, not just this one.

Make sure in the edit mesh toolbar you have "keep faces together" checked.

That was it, silly me. Thanks!
