    You people need to turn up your contrast.

    Having them alternate inside the quote boxes would be nice too, but I guess if it's a huge problem you could just use a different kind of border for the quote boxes, like:

    Originally posted by Bashkar
    It be called "I can't believe it's not gold." It looks like gold, it feels like gold, it tastes like gold, but here's the crazy part - it be not gold! Although it be not guaranteed that ye won't actually end up with gold. So, shall we start the biddin' at...oh let's say...four treasure chests full of sparkly gems?

    Hey there, fool. Have yerself some stupid gold fun at Fool's Gold.
    You probably oughta read our FAQ for some entertainment that doesn't suck. If you haven't registered, you'll probably want to do that so you can, ya know, post. To start viewing threads, click on a forum, look at some threads, and have some sex fun.


    Also, the way you guys are defining the quote boxes seems a bit unsound, you could just use:

    .alt1 .quote {border: #000000 1px solid; padding: 4px; background: #012033; font: 13px "Verdana", "Arial", sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF;}
    .alt2 .quote {border: #000000 1px solid; padding: 4px; background: #002942; font: 13px "Verdana", "Arial", sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF;}
    .prequote {padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 4px; font: 11px "Tahoma", "Arial", sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF;}

    Then just use as the quote tag:

    <blockquote><div class="quote">{param}</div></blockquote>

    And for the custom quote tag:

    <blockquote><div class="prequote">Originally posted by {option}</div><div class="quote">{param}</div></blockquote>

    Putting a "Quote:" message before people's quotes seems to me unnecessary and a waste of space. It's obvious that it's a quote, why else is it blocked out like that? xD

    Also, having quotes with 12px text when the rest of the post is 13px text looks bad to me. If you really want it to look different from everything else, use something like 11px Tahoma or something.
