Greasemonkey is a Firefox addon (might be available for other browsers) that allows inline modification of a rendered page (by manipulating the DOM and/or CSS, I believe).

I once spent half an hour to find an error where the user put a backslash in the closing tag amidst a nest of them. If it wasn't for the staff bar, I'd call this a shitty job.
Well then it should make you happy that when I screw up mine I then edit them and fix them myself, I hate having improperly formatted posts.

I often use indentation instead of quotes like so:

This actually makes it easier when someone is quoting one of my posts since the LIST tag cannot be confused with the QUOTE tag.

Speaking only for myself, it is appreciated when care is taken to do it right - it certainly makes for less moderator work. Kudos for your diligence.

I'll also say that bbcode is somewhat clunky and unintuitive if you're not used to markup languages and so we are here to help.

FWiW my posts are almost always immaculate, as I'm sure the mods know.

Thanks for fixing :-)

There is a Chrome Extension for it too.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
