Who was the nutjob that told me to buy a black car?

[Highway Star]

I can't do it for you, but I'll try to help.


What it looks like now...(after the waving smiley)
[I
[JOHN][/I]

I think you're trying to get it to look like this...


JOHN



There are a few ways to change it...

1. Delete the [ and ] around your name, and add one ] immediately after the first I

2. erase all the coding and leave it as plain old caps

3. erase everything, type JOHN, then highlight, and select the I from the toolbar again.

The codes for Italics are made with the letter I and the open and closed brackets. [ is the open bracket, and ] is the closed bracket.

To tell the computer to start writing in italics, you type the open bracket sign, then capital letter I, then the close bracket. It looks like this but with no spaces in it...i had to put spaces in there or else i'd be making the command (which doesn't show up in your sig if done right)
[ I ]


Then, type what you want italicized.

Then, close the italics command with this code...
open bracket, then forward slash, then capital I, then close bracket.

[/I]

it looks just like that.
