Quotes formatting messed up.

I notice a bunch of quotes are italicized now. This makes it really hard to read. Can we go back to quotes being not italicized?

Yeah it's weird because in some threads some quotes are all italics and some quotes are normal. I thought maybe someone left a tag opened but it doesn't appear to be that way.

Either way, it's no big deal to me, though I can see how italicized can be hard to read. Maybe change the font size of the forum when you're surfing through here. That might help some. (If you're using IE, go to "View" at the top of the browser, then "Text Size" and change it there.)

I'm glad someone else prefers no italics for the quoted text, but I like the gray box and regular text for the quotes. It's easy to read and easy to see what's quoted. With too much text formatting, it loses the simplicity it has.

Bolding the entire quote is "harsh" and it also removes a layer of accenting. For example, if someone quotes an article and wants to bold something, are they now to use bigger fonts to make a sentence stand out among a paragraph? This looks awkward.

Yeah, it messes with people's emphasis (or emPHAsis) from their original messages.

down with all italicized quotes!
