Random posts in bold

Today I noticed that some of my members’ recent posts are showing up bolded. Not just the post content, but the PM, Delete, Edit, etc. options, sidebar info, everything. Any idea why this could be happening? I attached a screencap for clarification. This is the site in question: www.webcomicunderdogs.com/forumsp-bold.png

Thanks!

Usually it would be because there is an opening HTML bold or strong tag that does not get closed. This could be within your wp theme or sp theme or perhaps some customisation. The only way to really tell is to look at the HTML source of the generated page to locate where the bolding of text begins

My guess is that you have a an extra < strong or < Bold tag that is not closed.

If it looks random it could be coming from someone’s signature.
I would take a look at that first. If you can read the CSS code using something like Firebug that can help you find it also.

If you have not yet resolved this, it would help to have the link to a specific topic/post with the bold text.

I didn’t notice the issue on the first few topics I viewed.

I appreciate the replies. One of my more tech-savvy mods caught the issue (which was indeed an open bold tag), so I’m good now. 

Thanks again!
