quote text in posts has changed

Misty:

When I first saw it I wasn't keen but now I have read through a couple of threads I think it's ok. The text runs better in posts. Just my opinion but I think it's better and I like it! :)

JustysiaS:

it would be better if the font was a bit bigger, or if they used a different font, maybe even make it bold. it's a bit too subtle and you focus on what the posters say before you see what they actually quoted. it's pretty confusing.

Anyone noticed the quote text has gone strange on the forums, is it a glitch Admin or is it the new format ?

ukpolska: the new format The highlighting is a bit subtle, I can hardly see it on my screen. It is ok now, better than when it was white....

Just my opinion but I think it's better and I like it! :) ever the diplomat Misty, keeping with your Jamie Oliver style :) JustysiaS: it would be better if the font was a bit bigger, or if they used a different font, maybe even make it bold. it's a bit too subtle and you focus on what the posters say before you see what they actually quoted. it's pretty confusing. yeah i mean people like me who only have a little less eyesight than the rest of the forum members need the text to be a little more visible so i'm not straining at all!!! here is my unofficial view on the new 'quote text' It's Shite Here is my official view point: It isn't clear enought, what was wrong with it how it was, is this another change for the sake of it?? Which of the admin got bored this time??? :)

JustysiaS: plays "Satisfaction" by Benassi :D Noooooooo! ;) The new quote look is good, I like it, it makes reading threads a whole lot easier, I can assure you. :)

PolskaDoll: Noooooooo! ;) yeah you're right, i only like the video anyway. lmao. PolskaDoll: The new quote look is good, can you at least make it a different colour? so it stands out in the posts more?

polishgirltx: will you guys ever be satisfied? for me its not about how it is designed its the 'fitness to purpose' and for me i just can't see it straight off, i have to look a little harder and that stretches me as i'm feeling lazy today :) PolskaDoll: Isn't it? I read your post clear and quick enough ;) no dolly not the post, i mean the actual quote text. As i've said before my vision isn't 20/twenty so its a little more rougher for me than the average bear.

JustysiaS: can you at least make it a different colour? so it stands out in the posts more? It may be possible. Although, it seems OK. To put it into perspective, I've read multiple threads today and I found them smooth to read and had no problem defining between quoted text and new text. It just takes a little getting used to :) tornado2007: no dolly not the post, i mean the actual quote text. As i've said before my vision isn't 20/twenty so its a little more rougher for me than the average bear. It's not changed in size. Just there is no box now. So I think your eyes will be fine ;)

JustysiaS: can you at least make it a different colour? For example?

JustysiaSThreads: 15 Posts: 2,869 Joined: Oct 14, 07 MEMBER	Jul 31, 08, 18:56 / #
Admin: For example? umm green? purple? anything but red cos that is obviously your favourite colour to use.

polishgirltx	Jul 31, 08, 18:57 / #
JustysiaS: anything but red cos that is obviously your favourite colour to use. but red is related to Poland... ;P

PolskaDoll: The new quote look is good, I like it, it makes reading threads a whole lot easier, disagree completely. it's hard to tell that it's a quote. but whatever...

plk123: disagree completely not a surprise here... ;)

plk123: disagree completely. it's hard to tell that it's a quote. but whatever... Everyone has their opinion. I know. I read 70 threads so far today, so I know what I find easier, that's all. :)

PolskaDoll: I read 70 threads so far today is that why you don't want to talk to us anymore?? ;)

To be fair, I'm neutral. I think the indentation is what really makes it look like a quote, but I agree that it should be a different color. It's so subtle. Just my two cents lol
