I thought to post we had to add HTML tags, I tried this, but it shows up when I post!

So, I need to know, how do I indicate italics? Because I use the and then end and it doesn't work...

*sigh* Any help for me???

You were busy trying to get yourself lit on fire. It happens.

I think you can just use BBCode for the basic formatting (bold, underline, italics). For the rest, consult Mal4prez's "Handy fic formatting guide," located here:

Some of the things don't work anymore, maybe because of hacks FFF.NET has had in the past, but most of it is still good.

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it (silly me, I've got italics in my signature!) I think the problem is that you're using uppercase letters, instead of lowercase. The HTML for my sig is exactly the same, except "i" instead of "I."

Once a lurker, always a lurker.

Maybe it just happens when I post something (doubt it), but I usually get a handy little reference on the left-hand side. It looks a little something like this:

quote [quote ]...[/quote ]
spoiler [spoiler ]...[/spoiler ]
bold [b ]...[/b ]
italics [i ]...[/i ]
underline [u ]...[/u ]

I added some spaces to make the commands visible. Uppercase also works, see?

------------------------------

This isn't my signature. I have to type this every time I make a post.

Thanks.

Stupid me! I figured it out after I posted.

Thanks anyway!
