It's not quite as simple as that as quite a number of ASP functions and Javascript functions would need to re-written to remove this feature.

You would need to start with the RTE_javascript.asp file and then also change the quote formatting functions in functions/functions_format_post.asp file. There may also be some other files that require changing.

hi

i was having the same problem and thought of giving the default_style.css a try and here is what i found.
 
This is the Original CSS code for Quotes

/* BBcode blocks */
.BBquote{
 border: 1px dotted #999999;
 background-color: #FFFFFF;
 width: 97%;
 padding: 5px;
 margin: 8px 0px;
 text-align: left;
 overflow: auto;
 display: block;
 padding: 5px;
}
 
Noticed the line in red? I did too so what I did is "handle each side seperatly". Replaced the above with this one below, and viola.
 

.BBquote{
 border: 1px;
 border-color: #006600;
 background-color: #FEFDF1;
 width: 97%;
 padding: 5px;
 margin: 8px 0px;
 text-align: left;
 overflow: auto;
 display: block;
 padding: 5px;
 border-top-style: solid;
 border-right-style: solid;
 border-bottom-style: solid;
 border-left-style: solid;
 
change the default code with this one in default_style.sys, it is working at my end on both IE and FireFox. I'll be eager to hear from others so that I know if it works a 100% or not.

Hi Ali,

I tried your method and so far its working on IE... haven't tested in firefox to see if it changed anything, but it seems to be working perfectly for IE now

Hi Javier
Thanks for the input. And I am sure if it's working with IE it will work on firefox.

I tried this CSS fix, and it did not fix the problem, at least not for old posts. Are you suggesting you did this and it fixed old and new posts? Or just posts that were placed with quotes AFTER the fix?

I have spent many hours looking into solutions for this and must say that changing the CSS file will NOT fix this issue as the problem is in the way browsers use DIV blocks and overlapping DIV blocks, which a CSS hack would not fix.

boRg, could you share with us a bit more detail on what the problem is exactly and where it is in the code? Maybe with a few of us looking at the code, we could assist you in finding a solution?

From what I've read before, do I understand that you think the problem is in the creation of the post, and not in the final rendering?
