Style Forum Quotes in flat threads

Disclaimer: I have not tested this anywhere except my forum.

I though that the quotes blended too well with the replies on my forum. Not easy to read while scrolling:

So I tweaked like so:

To do this add the following to your Appearance/Advanced CSS box:

/***BLOCK QUOTE STYLE**/
blockquote {
padding: 10px;
border: 1px dashed #303030;
border-radius: 10px;
}
cite {
font-style: italic;
}
/***BLOCK QUOTE STYLE**/

You could also change the text color and add a background by adding code shown in red and inserting color values:

/***BLOCK QUOTE STYLE**/
blockquote {
padding: 10px;
background: #COLOR;
color: #COLOR;
border: 1px dashed #303030;
border-radius: 10px;
}
cite {
font-style: italic;
}
/***BLOCK QUOTE STYLE**/

Hi, I have dealt with the two codes and none has worked.

I wasn't sure if it would work for everyone. Could you give me a link to a forum page where you have some quotes already and I'll see if I can figure it out?

I have the private network, but I can send a screenshot?

Great job! Anything that helps the eyeballs is a plus. On my list for sure.

Happy Holidays!
