-I've heard your plight and am here to help. In order to put something in italics on the wiki, use a set of quotes. For example to make the word 'might' in your sentence ''italicised'', type <nowiki>''might''</nowiki> (using two sets of apostrophes). Using the HTML tags is generally considered unacceptable, so I fixed it in your sentence for you (hope you don't mind). On a related note, use <nowiki>'''three sets'''</nowiki> to make something '''bold'''. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
-I've figured out how to do it. It's not quotes, but rather apostrophes.
+Sincerely,<br />

-Apostrophes are only preferred when you ''specifically want emphasis''. When you specifically need italics for, say, the title of some literature like <i>The Picture of Dorian Gray</i> (I '''swear''' that was the first one that popped into my head!), then HTML tags are the way to go. It's something about blind people, screen readers, and the Lynx browser. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 17:45, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
-==New Messages==
-It keeps saying that I have new messages. I HAVE NO NEW MESSAGES.
-:It's a bug. To clear the new messages message, you have to click on the "unwatch" tab at the top of your user talk page. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:19, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
-I tried doing that before, and it didn't work. When I looked up to see if my page was watched, it turned out that it was, when I swear that I had unwatched it. Oh well, it doesn't look like it'll do this again.
-AHHH! Every time I try to post a message, it automatically watches my page! ~Isaac Smith
-:Yeah, you have to unwatch it every time. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 01:12, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
-::Alternatively, you can change it in your preferences. It's under "Editing." Eighth check box down. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 17:48, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
-==Signatures==
-Hey, how do I get my self one of those cool signature thingies?
-:Hey Isaac, I loved the Arial Black font you used in your sig, so I've used it in my own. Consider it a homage.  --{{User:Bigscarymike/sig}} 06:03, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
