Hi there.

Got a question about quote boxes on the forums. I know where to change the settings in styles but is there a way to make it a % rather than just a number of pixels?

It would help is someone explained how they work as well when someone quotes a quote? It seems to be embedded with a slightly smaller width... but what exactly is going on with the layout there?

Thank you!

the reason it's defined as a number of pixels was some crap ie7 issue and the onlyway to fix it for the small ammount of users who where having the issue was to patch it and tick the rest of us off ;)...

You can change this to the original manner by changing the "ubbcode-body" class to:
 Code:
margin: 4px;
max-width: 100%; 
max-height: 300px; 
overflow: auto; 
font-size: 10pt;
display: block;


It looks MUCH better, and handles sub-items much better as well (sub-spoilers, sub-quotes, etc).

IT looks extremely odd when quoting a quote with the "new" set, but the "old" one it looks quite clean.

The way it looks now is:
 Quote:
This is quote #1
 Quote:
and #2
 Quote:
and #3


 Quote:
and #4



The way it used to work (how the css i provided above) they would all "flow" together, and look crisp and clean as can be.
