Re: Use underlining, italics, or quotation marks for titles?
I just submitted my first review on Yaser and Yasmeen, but I think i forgot to underline the title.
Will it be rejected?
If it is, could I send it in again corrected?
Please respond on my inbox
Thanks, Rik

However, even though I know it's wrong, I do use quotation marks around a book title when writing a review on Amazon because italics are unavailable. I notice some people use ALL CAPS, but I'm not a fan of this look.

I agree with you on this. If italics are not available, I use quotation marks. I'm also glad Scott is specific in the Review Guidelines about using italics for book titles. That should eliminate any confusion.ilovebooks2 wrote:Thank you for your clear and succinct explanation of the rules, Scott. I agree with you.

In your post, it looks like bold is working for you. Dad is in bold. The only thing I can think of is to make sure the box next to "Disable BBCode" is NOT checked. I hope that helps!Job Njoroge wrote:I have a problem using italics and bold . I put the right tabs but they don't work what could be the problem. It is greatly affecting my review
