Quote tags

That might actually be a problem with the Add Reply page. xD

Umm. I just happen to hate 12px Verdana and 13px Verdana being mixed together. It looks tacky.

If we're going to fix anything, we should make the posts alternate correctly first. Fixing that might fix the other problem. Maybe I'll look at that later.

Has anyone checked that IE renders all of this stuff correctly? Maybe that's BoB's problem.

IE 6 renders AoK

Now that I'm home, it's definitely my monitor. Or should I say, the fact that I use my screen at too high a resolution for my video card at work to handle. I use something like 1600x1200 on a Compaq Deskpro - if I went one resolution lower and rebooted, it would be fine, but having a huge resolution is a valuable asset when it comes to spreadsheet work. But yeah, the 256 colours on my max resolution mean the two blues of EoFF are the same colour, and that's what caused the problem.

Looks fine at home.

You shouldn't need to reboot to change resolution If the video card can't handle it, it won't let you choose such a mode in the first place - perhaps you're running at a resolution higher than the monitor itself is designed for

[Peegee]

If you make quote tags alternate colour, can I ruin it all by using q tags and making the colour bleed into each other, thus causing some sort of third 'superblue' colour?

*keeps harping*

Probably. Same difference to me.

Check out this thread, at Kishi's second post, close to the bottom. This doesn't mean much, but when you quote someone directly with a spoiler tag, that'll happen. There probably may not be a way to fix this, but just pointin' it out.

[Dr Unne]

Blahg. There is a way to fix it. There's a way to make the spoiler truly transparent now too, now that I figured out how to make colors alternate. Darn you for making me do more work.

[Del Murder]

Ok I played with the contrast and it looks a lot better. The black on the blue looks ok, but the blue on black looks terrible and I still hate them. Can't we switch to a more contrasting color like gray? The old lines were gray and it worked out.

[crono_logical]

Didn't I make spoilers truly transparent ages ago?

EDIT: never mind, guess you had to add more CSS to accommodate spoilers in quoteboxes too regardless

Yeah, I liked the gray, and I like the black, too.
