Everything’s Italic

    The text of all the posts and comments on lifeboatforums.wordpress.com and the bottom half of the right-side menu have turned italic (with no help from me). Anyone have any clue to what happened (and a fix)?

    UPDATE:

    There may be something wrong with the (native) CSS.

    A title of one post ends with an italic word (although the final character is roman). After that title lists in the sidebar widget for recent posts, everything in the sidebar appears in italic, as does all the body text in posts and replies (but not titles).

    When that title is eliminated from the recent posts listing, text below and to the left returns to normal.

    We have several titles that contain italics, and the title in question has been around for some time, too. It is only this title and only recently that this effect has been seen.

  • Hi there,

    A title of one post ends with an italic word

    How exactly did you make it italic? What you describe could happen if the <em> tag to make the last word italic was not properly closed with a </em> closing tag, which would cause the browser to assume all following text on the screen is still within the original <em> tag.

    I don’t see any italic text when I view your site, though. On which post is this happening?
