I just can't get into the breaking mood. It's no fun when you're supposed to break the forum. |

<blockquote>I can't figure out who said what, Jeez!</blockquote> It's because of the way quotes get quoted. No quote character and the quote is indented. Takes some gettin' used to.

Yeah, just get rid of the blockquote and /blockquote tags and do yer own quotin'. I believe that the ultimate indicator would be to make the quoted text a different color.

Well Rob, I now made a mess of them. ;) A maximum lenght of characters for the nickname and thread title wouldn't go amiss, as you can see. |

still, using blockqoute tags can make things pretty messy... There's no need to quote anything but the parts of the message you are answering, but with more and more embedded blockquotes it gets pretty ugly to edit, even for someone used to html like myself. The effect of which would be more and more quoting of something un-addressed in the answers. The old way to quote was much easier to handle especially for those unfamiliar with html. I just hope I can come up with a good solution (now that I've been critical of the blockquote approach, though I believe it's in a constructive way ;)). |

** Hey what's up CR? Yeah, just get rid of the blockquote and /blockquote tags and do yer own quotin'. ** I believe that the ultimate indicator would be to make the quoted text a different color. * Not a whole lot, been busy with the rugrats. * Different color would make it easy to read, good idea Rick :) [Sorry for the extra quote, but I'm experimenting.] No rugrats here. Did run out to gas up the truck and pay some bills. Thanks, I do come up with a good idea about once a decade. >:-) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

<blockquote>@ Rob: Now THAT is one nice looking post [#108611]. What do you think?</blockquote> Nice, but difficult to implement. Really... hold off until the patches I've written are applied before further judgement. :-) After the blue bar is here and other issues are fixed, let me know what you still think. If you still don't like it, we can investigate alternatives. Rob |

But you're wrong. I hate you all. ...I regularly saw that, where quoted-twice text was wrapped funkily. Also, it messed up *a lot* when images or hyperlinks were quoted... it didn't wrap rendered text, it wrapped *un rendered* text, counting the HTML tags as regular displayed characters. Other forum software quotes similarly - you encase things in [quote] tags usually, instead of <blockquote> tags, but the same issue with telling how deep you are exists. It's a tough cookie to crumble... but I think we're better off than we were before... especially once the rest of my changes make it over here. Rob |
