Why does my signature part change size?

Shouldn’t it be the same every time?  
How does that work?

You can make bulleted lists or ordered lists (by number or letter).

Unordered, bulleted list:

[ul]  
[li]This is the first bulleted item.[/li][li]This is the second bulleted item.[/li][/ul]

This produces:

This is the first bulleted item.  
This is the second bulleted item.

Note that you must include a closing [/list] when you end each list.

Here’s an example:

[list=A]  
[li]This is the first bulleted item.[/li][li]This is the second bulleted item.[/li][/list=A]

This produces:

This is the first bulleted item.  
This is the second bulleted item.

It’s smaller because you used {sub} – that’s short for subscript.

What effect are you trying for here? Maybe you need to look over the [vB Codes Explained](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/index.php?action=bbcode) part of the [Frequently Asked Questions](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/index.php?action=faq). Hope this helps.
