Some of you may have noticed that certain posts following others turn a whole thread into italics, or strike through or some other odd formating. The culprit turns out to be the signature: if the end of your signature includes any formating other than plain text, it applies it to all following comments. The solution:
Please don't include any special formating in the final words of your signature.
That's all.

A similar thing happened to
A similar thing happened to me after failing to post an image in a blog. Even though I deleted the message that caused the whole problem it still carried on...
Also I have a problem with the private message box. Its not irretrievable, as I can stretch it out using the little grab triangle but when it first appears it is just the thinnest box even and I cannot see what I write unless I stretch it out. Not sure what can be done about it I am not the only one to whom this happens but it obviously is not a problem for everyone.

Michele- if that only happens in private messages it's an interaction between your browser and the css for that page. If it's happening to others, I can see about changing the css for that particular "node" as it's called in drupal.
Sunni- I dont' have the skill to mess with the signature module, so not sure what's the problem. It only seems to have become a problem when I added the module that allows signatures to appear on blog posts, so is probably from that.
Jim, I get the same thing
Jim,
I get the same thing as Michele with the pm box but I've always had it and I simply drag the corner with my mouse to open the box to type in it.
