Invisible or Italic? - and - Which Adverts?

[Rodak]

Here are two questions in one about technical site-related stuff.

First, when coding posts I sometimes make invisible text when I want Italic text.

What is going on with that? Is it a capital letter thing?

Is there a difference between :

[i] and [I]?

Or does using the "buttons" make a difference over typing it out?

I have been avoiding asking that for a while, but since I have another embarrassingly stupid question I may as well group 'em.

On the main site homepage, I know that only either the bottom ads or only the side bar ads generate revenue.

But I forget which and have started using both because I did not want to ask.

Well, I'm askin'!

Peace.

On the actual website, both ads generate revenue, so no worries there. As for the italics issue, I'm not really sure. There is certainly no difference between clicking the I or typing it yourself (I always type it myself), but I don't know if there's any difference between i and I. I had no idea about invisible text, so if "I" produces that, I guess that's what it does.

It's my browser.

When using Mozilla Firefox on Windows ME, I get this.

If I reload the page a couple times it shows up Italic.

Is Inconsistent.

But was confusing me to no end...

Guess I'll go click an ad or two...

Peace.
