This will change the boring vBulletin quote into something with a little more life and spice for your forums. Change the boring quote bbCode to a little more snazz.

go to your styles and templates and locate the bbCode template group.
Double click the bbcode_quote template and replace the entire contents with

<div style="margin:20px; margin-top:5px; <if condition="$show['iewidthfix']">width: 100%;</if>">

<div style="width:100%">
		
			<if condition="$show['username']">

				<div class="quotetop">
					$vbphrase[quote]: <phrase 1="$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="$vbphrase[view_post]" /></a></if>
				</div>
				<div style="font-style:italic" class="quotemain">$message</div>
			<else />
	<div class="smallfont quotetop">$vbphrase[quote]:</div>
				<div class="quotemain">$message</div>
			</if>
</div>
</div>

Save your new template, and open up the Main CSS editor (choose Main CSS From drop down)

All the way at the bottom under additional CSS enter

.quotetop
{
	width=98%
	color: #000;
	margin: 8px auto 0px auto;
	font-weight:bold;
	font-size:10px;
	padding: 8px;
	background-color:#E4EAF2;
	border-left: 4px solid #8394B2;
	border-top: 1px dotted #000;
	border-right: 1px dotted #000;
}
.quotemain
{
	width=98%
	color: #465584;
	background-color: #FAFCFE;
	border-left: 4px solid #8394B2;
	border-right: 1px dotted #000;
	/*border-top: 1px dotted #000;*/
	border-bottom: 1px dotted #000;
	padding: 4px;
	margin: 0px auto 8px auto;
}

End result is the attached image.

If you have questions about default vBulletin code, I can also assist with that, or you can ask in the support forums here, or on vBulletin.com

PS, if that was your intention to learn about default vBulletin code, then you wouldn't have reported it or went around posting every where it was cookie stuffing :up:

If reported it or not has no baring on the question I had..

Thanks, after careful review of the vBulletin.org signature rules, it seems to fit in the guidelines.

Thanks
