strange new sentence breaks and formatting weirdness

    I noticed this after upgrading to 3.5

    For an example, go here: example 1 you will see strange little blocks at the end of some sentences and odd line formatting (hopefully my description isn’t confusing). This seems to only happen when an individual post is viewed. The weird formatting doesn’t happen when the post is viewed from the main page (see here for example 2)

    I’ve looked at the html and the source code and cannot understand why this is happening. I don’t really know how to ask my question to see if it is happening to other wordpress sites since upgrading to 3.5. I’m hoping someone can help.

    Get rid of the deprecated <i></i> markup in your posts and you should be fine.

    Thank you, esmi.

    I’m not sure if I completely understand. I apologize for being dense.

    I should remove the italics markups in my post, and that should correct the errors I’m seeing? How, then, will I format words in italics? I’m using WordPress to generate these tags… and I don’t understand why I’m only seeing the errors when I view the individual post and not when I view from the main page.

    Is there an easy way to remove the markups rather than searching each line?

    Thank you, again.

    Use the italics functionality in the default WordPress editors. They add <em></em> tags – not <i></i> which is old and outdated HTML markup. This old markup is being styled via:

    .shr_compact_tick s, i {
    -moz-border-bottom-colors: none;
    -moz-border-left-colors: none;
    -moz-border-right-colors: none;
    -moz-border-top-colors: none;
    border-color: transparent #C7C7C7 transparent transparent;
    border-image: none;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 5px 5px 0 0;
    display: block;
    position: relative;
}

    which (I guess) is coming from one of your plugins.

    Thank you.

    I will investigate the plugin issue. Issues like this have happened with other version updates in the past. My best solution has been to disable the plugins and troubleshoot from there.

    I will report my findings.

    The culprit was the subscribe remind plugin. I deactivated and uninstalled the plugin and we are good to go.

    Thank you again, esmi. I’m grateful for this community.
