Background Color of Quoted Text


Website Feedback


Is it just me, or did the background color of quoted text passages on the board change recently? First quotes are white. Only quotes of quotes are still in blue.

If it was changed globally, can we get back to how it was before? It is almost impossible to distinguish between quotes and original text. Or can we at least get an option to switch back?

I had not noticed that issue, but I do notice that some nested quotes end up white.

EDIT: Your quote in this post is blue on my end.

We haven't changed anything related to quoting recently. You might want to check the adjustment on your monitor or possibly a browser style sheet or other configuration on your end. (And for what it's worth, I'm pretty sure the quoting is specified as shades of grey, not blue, so your monitor might need calibrating anyway.)


Its grey when I use Internet Explorer 8, but blue when I use Firefox, if that makes any sense

I could see calling the color I see a "steel gray" or "blue gray". Either way, the only time I have seen color drop is when there are many nested quotes. then sometimes they go white.

Things look the same to me as they always have (I'm on Win7/Firefox). Linux/Firefox? Same. IE9? Same.

Looks good to me!

You're right. I recently tried different screen settings, because mine were too dark. Thanks.
