I believe that this:

<input type="text" class="bginput" name="author" size="25" maxlength="75" value="$author" /></td>

should be this:

<td class="alt1"><input type="text" class="bginput" name="author" size="25" maxlength="75" value="$author" /></td>

Otherwise, the author input box gets put above and out of the table.

And, to keep the colors consistent, I make this:

<td class="alt2"><b>$vbphrase[quote_author]</b></td>

td class="alt1". But that's my preference.

This seems to work for me.
