Let's improve quoted text...
August 5, 2016 at 3:02 am (This post was last modified: August 5, 2016 at 3:02 am by Aractus.)
When the theme was tweaked (by Tib?) he made quotations much harder to distinguish from the next text in the thread. There are two problems I have - one, it should be indented - it makes a big difference, and two it should have a clearer border. The insanely faint lines are hard enough to see on my display so I imagine some people depending on their monitor settings won't be seeing them at all.

Here's how it looks now:

Here's how I think it should look:

Note this should apply both to the page display itself and the edit box, and also include the [code] and [php] tags. And I'd prefer the darker lines applied to the whole theme, I hate the faint borders.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

That only fixes the edit box, not the page display:

The software here is a PITA. The only solution I see is to kill you all and let God format you.
