SkydiveMonkey 0 #1 February 13, 2003 Is it possible to make quoted text a different colour? It can sometimes be hard to pick out what's being quoted when people have nested quotes and their own text in the middle somewhere.____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not hard at all if people would use the markup instructions and take a moment to preview their posts. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

jceman 1 #4 February 14, 2003 You are absolutely correct in that assessment. I just posted that in the (faint) hope that some of the illdigarati will see the response and hit the clicky bit and learn. Ain't I ever the optimist?

Id there's more text to quote, I tend to use the tags. Alex: If people don't use the and tags correctly, the script has no way of knowing which text is quoted and which is the poster's own reply! Different colours wont help if the colours are in the wrong place... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkydiveMonkey 0 #10 February 15, 2003 I'm refering to people who have quotes within quotes within quotes. Most of the time it's ok, but sometimes there's quotes within quotes and it would make it easier to tell what's being quoted and what the new text is ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
