This seems like the right blog to post my question, with all the WordPress experts here!
I know this probably doesn’t belong in this thread, but I will try to get some help anyway.
On my blog http://www.healthydietweightloss.com something very strange has happened. I tried to upload the sociable plugin through WP 2.7′s new direct plugin uploader, and got an error message. It didn’t work. But ever since on my home page the writing has gone to italic. Everything but my posts which I did since trying to upload the plugin. If you click through on any of the posts, it’s fine, it seems to be just the index page. Can anybody offer help? – I looked at the theme files, nothing seems to have changed there. I know also that when you view source there seem to be a lot of em tags there, but they are not visible in the theme files. I am out of my depth here.

The reason why you dont get the value to wp_options can be found here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_activation_hook

It says “If you’re using global variables, you may find that the function you pass to register_activation_hook() does not have access to global variables at the point when it is called, even though you state their global scope within the function”.

So if you define $atf_db_version inside the function it should work.

Your SQL should be:
$sql = “CREATE TABLE $tablename (
id mediumint(9) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
email varchar(120) NOT NULL,
twitid varchar(120) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY email (email)
);”;
