Begging the Developers' pardon, but what's with the blue quote boxes?

They're ghastly, imho. :(

I think once we get used to it it will make it easier to read. I remember when I first startd reading forums way back when it was a little hard to make sense out of the quotes. It might grow on you.

Well, I understand they're still in the middle of it all, but the color clash is Ugly!

Does this mean we're changing to a Blue theme? How very trendy, say wot?

I like the blue quote boxes. However, the smaller default font is making it more difficult for me to read the posts.

What are you all talking about?

Ahhhh! Thanks KBR.
We have to be patient, I guess. A lot of these FX like the superwide boxes will adjust in time. ;)

Looking things over I can tell that these can be a bit annoying on posts that have a series of 6 or 8 quotes in them.

I'm sure they will. They have been working pretty hard on the forum code for quite some time now. As far as the upload problem, that I have no clue about.

This is how quotes are formatted over at Pirates@home. You can get some really weird pyramid looking formations. And the reduced font size is what Einstein@home changed over to not long ago.

I agree. Plus 10 for finally getting a real quote box. Minus 5 for decreasing the font size.

I just looked at Einstein's message board, it appears to have the same font size as SETI did before the change - bigger than is here now. QMC@Home has the smaller fonts all over their site, not just on the boards. Too small for my <whimper> ageing eyes.
