Q)
Why don't you have a border around the quote?
A) It defeats the purpose as to why I created it. It was created because there's a difference in how the QUOTE and other (ie. PHP, HTML, CODE) bbcodes are displayed. For example, the default QUOTE bbcode is displayed with a 100% width whereas the others are a fixed width. To me, this wasn't consistent with the overall design. It looked fine by itself but in combination with others it just didn't flow. At least not for me.

Q) Why don't you use an endquote?
A) It just doesn't look right when using multiple quotes. It's actually a bit confusing.

Q) Why does my quote image not display?
A)
  1. Make sure you uploaded the image.
  2. Check custom CSS and:
    1. check that the location of the image is correct (default : /forums/images/misc/q.gif)
    2. check that the name of image is correct (default : q.gif)

I modified my additional CSS in style template so it included a

within the blockquote.bq CSS style.

e.g.

Only thing is, it only colors the background of the area where the quoted text is, not the whole section that includes the "quoted by" and the quotation marks itself. Change the color here to whatever color you want as the background for your quote (you can use #000000 - #FFFFFF for custom colors).

It does look better with a slightly different background color, in my opinion.

You'll want to flush the signature cache out after doing this since you may have users using the quote bbcode in their signatures. (Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters, then click Empty Signature Cache)

Before placing it in additional css. If you want to use the white quote image change the file name to "w-q.png". Oh, and don't forget to upload the images, hehehe.
thanks for the images
