Posts: 692 9-Mar-08 12:31 AM	Tags : resolved The quote function turned flaky today. Text enclosed in "[ quote ]" and "[ / quote]" (without the spaces) is indented, but it isn't always surrounded by a box. Whether a box is present varies from one forum to another on the same board; it may also vary between Quick Reply and regular reply. Sample post with the box missing, forum 1 (Tinnitus Support Message Board): http://tinnitussupport92262.yuku.com/sreply/73862/t/Does-Caffiene-Make-Tinnitus-Worse-UK-Study-.html In tests on forum 13 of the same board, quoting worked properly.

Down near the bottom you can select what style of border you want around your quote. You can preview first before saving the change.

Posts: 692 9-Mar-08 2:04 AM	Irene, I followed your directions and found that the border style for the forums that are missing the border is "1px solid #5889BF." Wouldn't "solid" mean a border should show? On the actual forums, it looks like "none," which is another choice in the style menu. The preview button didn't show a preview, or I didn't know where to look for it.

Posts: 619 9-Mar-08 9:07 AM munificent member	I was having the same problem until I added the following CSS snippet to Advanced CSS box: /* the whole quote */ blockquote { padding: 5px; border: 2px solid #xxxxxx; background: #xxxxxx; color: #xxxxxx; }

Posts: 606 10-Mar-08 7:36 AM	Thanks for the advice. I noticed the box does appear at one board where I post, by the way, so maybe I'll have the owner help me with my own board. As far as the other boards I go to...I guess the owner doesn't want it that way or does not know how to fix it.

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 9019 14-Mar-08 2:06 PM pink goddess	Reph, in that forum you do not have any css defining a border for the blockquote, which is why none appears. If you want a border on your quotes you need to add that to your CSS. blockquote { border: 1px solid #000; }

If you want a border on your quotes you need to add that to your CSS. blockquote { border: 1px solid #000; } I added that to my global CSS but it doesn't work. Do I have to add it to the CSS in each and every forum?

Posts: 218 14-Mar-08 10:20 PM	Yes you do. But the upside of that is, you can make the border match the border of your skin and I find that very convenient!

Posts: 692 15-Mar-08 1:20 AM	Alison, I added the code you provided, and a test post didn't have a box. http://tinnitussupport92262.yuku.com/sreply/74889/t/Religion.html Another place in the CSS says something like "border: none"--could this be neutralizing the added code?

Reph, if you will use this CSS snippet I provided earlier in your Advanced CSS box, it will take care of the problem. /* the whole quote */ blockquote { padding: 5px; border: 2px solid #xxxxxx; background: #xxxxxx; color: #xxxxxx; } Remove the xxxxxx with the color of your choice. You can also adjust the padding and border thickness in this snippet to suit your personal fancy, too.
