Instructions:

First of all, you HAVE to install that hack.
Link : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93415 (need vB 3.5 RC)

It will allow png picture transparency work with Internet Explorer.

Then download the zip file and follow the instructions:

1. Login to your Admin Control Panel
2. In the Styles & Templates category, click on Style Manager and expand the group of templates in your prefered style, by clicking on the [<<>>] button.
3. Select the group of templates BB Code Layout. Click the 'Expand/Collapse' button, or double-click the group name to expand or collapse the BB Code Layout ? group of templates.
3. Now select the template bbcode_quote. Double-click the template name or click the 'Customize' button to edit this template.
4. Replace all the content in the template field withd the code provided in the txt file in the zip below.
5. Upload the folder "quotes" (or quotestr) containing all the images to your misc images directory of your style :

[style]/images/misc

Notes:

>You have to increase the amount of images to use in a post through your admin cp, because this mod use images and it counts as post images.
>If new png quotes pictures don?t appear immediately in your old messages, don?t panic and just wait. If you're hurry, just write a new message and it will work.
>I give you the PDF file so that you can modify if you want the quotes. Now it?s easy to do. I give you also a picture that helps you to localise where each segment of the PSD goes.
>Of course i?ve tested this hack, both in IE and Mozilla, and it works great.

Bonus
Once installed, you can make your code, html and php tags the same look if you want. Just go into the option directory included in the zip file, and replace the templates of each of this tags by the content of the text files.
N.B : For those three bbcode, the width depends on the value indicated in "All Style option" under "Code Block Width (pixels)".

still apparently a mess in IE -- and now it doesn't render correctly in Safari.

Sorry After having a look into the archive file again, i can certify files are good.

Just try to post a new quote to check if the "bug" display isn't due to vB cache.

And of course, use code of "QuotesPNG_template.txt" text file. It should work.

Can you give a link to you quote message, because at home i've got no problem with IE.

And sorry, but i don't have Safari to run my tests.

loads even worse in Safari when I switch to your latest version.

[cclaerhout]

I've just try on my IE and the only problem is you don't have installed the png transparency hack for IE.

------
I found a little width bug for bbcode (option) in IE. I'll correct it later.

[ehjay]

well that's the major issue now -- the quote itself isn't stretching the bottom bg to fit the full width of the quote.

hopefully fixing that would fix safari as well (the problem changed from the screenshot I posted above).

I understand the transparency hack that you've supported isn't installed, but it's not the best in my opinion -- and I currently use the JS solution.

[cclaerhout]

JS solution will not work : CSS backround PNGs are not supported with this method.

Each time you've got a problem, put a picture otherwise i won't understand.

Try this code and tell me what happens :
