The default QUOTE tag does this now too. It looked terrible with the two kinds of quotes mixed together. We'll see. Not hard to put it back the way it was if I have to.Originally Posted by black orb
I keep my brightness down so it just looks like centered text to me. It's supposed to be a solid box background, right? I can barely see it with the brighness all the way up. I think our alternating background colors are too similar to use this format. It's still better than the box, though.

[q]What The Man posted is how I had it BEFORE, except with white borders. Darn it. I'm too old for this kind of aggravation. [/q]I guess the line colour makes more of a difference than one would think then
Do they alternate colours when nested in each other too?
[q][/q][q][/q][q][/q][q]Edit: I guess only one of the tags was changed[/q]
I think I could get them to alternate when nested, but it would be painful. I did it using CSS, to begin with.
Forget that. We'd just ruin it by nest qq with q and qqq and q^4 tags.
Are the new quote tags supposed to be black? Because on my screen, they're black. And it's horrible to look at. God-awful, even. And alternating them is also a stupid idea. We need to decide - one or the other. No "oh, a bit of this and a bit of that" - be consistent.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I'm serious here: they all suck. Bring back the old ones and erase everybody's memory. :aimmad: :aimmad:

I think you need a new screen for your work computer because it seems to have it's own colours apart from all the others.
I agree that we should be consistent and I think these look pretty good.

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:

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?

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 somesexfun.
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.

I like the black line around the box better than the blue line. Less messy.
Hello Pika Art by Dr Unne ~~~ godhatesfraggles
Yeah, I think certain wankers just need to turn up their freaking brightness.The blue line does make it more obvious that it's a quote though, so whatever people think.
Edit: Actually, if they use the blue line they should probably use it everywhere else on the forum as well, just for continuity. I wouldn't mind EoFF with a more obvious border, come to think of it - it seems a bit low of a contrast between one text box and the next.
They're staying like this until I get a good reason to change them. "I don't like your CSS" and "My monitor sucks" aren't good reasons. Feel free to come up with others.

That's the thing. The blue line in the quotes looks out of place with the rest of EoFF and if you add it everywhere else to fit in, then all of EoFF changes and that's not a good thing because EoFF looks just fine the way it is now.Yeah, I think certain wankers just need to turn up their freaking brightness.

Hello Pika Art by Dr Unne ~~~ godhatesfraggles
Yeah, your screen definitely has problems - they're currently using the same blues as normal posts, so unless one of the normal alternating post colours is black to you as well, you need to be fixing something at your end
Also, the CSS does need fixing to something similar to as The Man suggested, since some of the quote boxes are currently the wrong colour on the Add Reply page. Might be a side effect of posts not alternating colours correctly there, but at least fixing the quote box CSS will make them the right colour regardless of where they are then
