That's if I understood the conversation between kall & Danny correctly.

Edit: which I didn't.

I think you understood me.

Thing is, because it's just a template edit, that edit can be applied independently per style.. could even have a special alt_quote css style.

yeah, looks cool.

Yeah, they're very cool!:up:

Confused me at first though, cuz we just reformatted our hard drive, and I thought we messed something up, cuz the quotes looked funny here!:erm:

With regards to the other quote thread that just got closed before i could reply.

Yeah, I only said that because I've suggested (twice I think) that a spy glass would look better not only that it would be more appropriate but it seems to have been overlooked when a reply regarding the suggestion would have been nice.

I'll ask again, and put the suggestion forward for the 3rd time. Viewpost icon would look better as a spyglass icon? yes/no/maybe/shelley would be best buying another vb license and going under a username unknown to anyone and put her suggestions forward so they at least get a reply or taken seriously. Oops, a joke.


Anyway, jokery aside, how about the spyglass idea the whole implementation of the quote thing looks great but there's room for improvement.

I've been putting some thought into it - haven't decided what to do
leaving things as-is for now

I think we need a border there - a dashed one might look good.

[Wayne Luke]

Adding the end quote might be nice however I like them without borders all the way around. The blockquote effect and the left border identifies it enough without making it the main focus of the post.

Indeed, or a background color. It's pretty confusing now.
End quotes can also help, but not fully.
