When I try to use italics or write small they don't show up, merely as normal text with the brackets bit on either side.

They look right in the preview but not when posted.

ETA: That's odd, they work here but not in the Photo forum, nor P&P nor business...

Its the carriage return within the quote, i.e.

Damn you are quick, Cheers miniman!

It's just one of the many quirks with the current parser which should be sorted when we launch the next version.

Good answer! I didn't realise you had to do it on every line. Never noticed it before but maybe I've never used more than one line before. Thanks folks.
