It is vitally important that you ensure that you close any HTML tags that you have introduced into a post on these forums. If you don't, you run the risk of making the thread unusable.

How do you close an HTML tag? You add a slash before the name of the command you're closing. So if the open tag is the close would be.

By far, the most common HTML tag that you will probably use is the tag. This tag is automatically created whenever you choose to quote someone's earlier post. By default, the system automatically closed that tag by introducing a tag. But, in your enthusiasm to post your response, you could accidentally erase the closing div.

Another common place where there can be unclosed tags is within your signature. For this reason signatures are not allowed anywhere within Special:Forum.

Please double check your posts before you publish them to make sure that there are no unclosed HTML tags or signatures.

At present, there is no local solution to this problem. Wikia Staff have to fix it. So it can really kill a conversation dead for a while if you make this mistake.
