Steven P. Administrators Posted August 7, 2014 Administrators Share Posted August 7, 2014 It's now the same size as the post font, and I removed italics, it was hard enough to read comfortably as it was, with the upcoming update inbound soon we'll also be revisiting the forum fonts in general. Example of the updated quote box vs the above text: It's now the same size as the post font, and I removed italics, it was hard enough to read comfortably as it was, with the upcoming update inbound soon we'll also be revisiting the forum fonts in general.

Nick H. Supervisor Posted August 7, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted August 7, 2014 Hey cool, the italics are gone! I didn't mind them when quoting someone else, but when quoting a news source for the BPN it always looked a bit odd. Good stuff!

Jase Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 so what happens when you quote a quote that was quoted by another quote? I feel like it would end up like this: quote 1"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

+Majesticmerc MVC Posted August 30, 2014 MVC Share Posted August 30, 2014 so what happens when you quote a quote that was quoted by another quote? I feel like it would end up like this: Reminds me of tumblr (N) Neowin doesn't nest quotes by default, so I don't expect it will be an issue in 99% of cases.

Steven P. Administrators Posted August 30, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yep, nested would look worse with boxes in boxes in boxes, etc..

LimeMaster Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Simple suggestion: Make the quote title area bold so it doesn't blend in with the rest of the text. Kinda like how it was done in the older quote boxes: :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1224847-quote-box-font-increased/#findComment-596561211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jombi Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Tweaked again. Eh, didn't really change what I was referring to. I liked how the quoted text was italicized, not just the "Steven P., on 30 Aug 2014 - 09:23, said:".

Zoom7000 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Is there any reason why the box was removed? I thought it looked good. Makes it easier to distinguish from the quote and the current post.
