Are pretty cool. It really draws the eye to the fact that someone is quoting someone elses' post. Maybe it's me, but I was sometimes unclear abou that in some posts under the old system.

I was waiting to see how people liked it. It's one of those very small tweaks that end up making things much easier.

The quote graphic is pretty righteous, but maybe we could add a gold outline to them to keep with the color scheme for the rest of the site.
Also, I realize that the quoted text now appears in italics, but the shading used previously really helped to separate the quote from the reply. I think a thin red or gold border would help further separate the quote from the body of the new message. But maybe that's overkill.

Please add an outline or shading to distinguish where the quote ends more clearly. Maybe add an end quotations mark as well. I like it though.  |

I don’t care… I want Jack Trice stadium to be the loudest in the Big 12 and I think that creates homefield advantage.... I want to stress to everyone…I want this place to be juiced up. They bought 36,000 season tickets so there is a passion there…don’t hide it… let it out. I want there to be a passion in the stadium."

This should make it easier for people to cite my earlier posts and show I am right more often. Definitely will cut down on plagiarism on the site.  |

I like the red quote text, but I think you should leave the background color of the quote in a different color.

I just updated it a little - let me know if you guys want further changes. Thanks again for the feedback.

Didn't like it at first, but now I'm getting used to it so it is fine.
