Thanks for the great mod!

Fwiw, I was having trouble with all the space before the closed quote, so I tried a slightly different layout (you can see it in my attachment).

Now I don't know much about css, so my method probably isn't all that efficient. If anyone can improve on it, I'd appreciate it.

Here's my css:

.quote { 
    margin:15px 10px; 
    background: url(images/misc/q.gif) 0 0 no-repeat; 
    padding-left:25px} 
blockquote.bq { 
    font: italic 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; 
    border-left:3px solid #ccc;  
    margin:0px; 
    padding:0 5px}  
.endquote { 
    margin:0px 10px 15px; 
    background: url(images/misc/q1.gif) 0 0 no-repeat; 
    padding-left:25px}

Here's my template:

<div style="margin:3px; margin-top:5px; <if condition="$show['iewidthfix']">width: 100%;</if>">
    <table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"> 
    <tr>
        <td><div class="quote" style="margin-bottom:2px">
            <if condition="$show['username']">
                <div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom:2px">
                    <phrase 1="$username">$vbphrase[originally_posted_by_x]</phrase>
                    <if condition="$postid"><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$postid#post$postid" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/viewpost.gif" border="0" alt="$vbphrase[view_post]"/></a></if>
                </div>
                <blockquote class="bq" style="font-style:italic">$message</blockquote>
            <else />
                <blockquote class="bq" style="font-style:italic">$message</blockquote>
            </if>
        </div>
<div class="endquote" style="margin-bottom:2px">&nbsp;</div>
</td>
    </tr>
    </table>
</div>
