| De-emphasizing quoted text in forum threads
I don't like the new feature of de-emphasizing quoted text in forum threads... the light grey text very difficult to read.
Change to enable/disable as a user pref. Better yet: allow the user to select the color of quoted text to whatever he/she wants.

Maybe so. With all the changes going on tonight, I think I'm just going to wait a bit til the dust settles. |

Using a dark theme, maybe that's why.

I'd really appreciate if BBR will keep contrast of the font to its maximum and use color "#000000;" instead of "#3F3F3F;".
Recently I've noticed that font in <bquote> is now getting worse and it makes reading of the small font even more difficult (and why it sould be this way?). It's good that I've found this thread, otherwise I'd open it myself

1 edit | I think it depends on your settings and the browser you are using...If I come in on IE, everything looks different than if I came in using my regular browser which is the new version of Firefox 2.0.0.3
Mozilla is no longer supported so if people are using the old Mozilla that might be a problem. |

| It is most definitely dependent on your theme and your browser.
I was allowing the site to use the default themes for each of the forums I visit (made it easier for me to remember which one I was in) and some of them it was still too difficult to read. I changed to the theme to the DImaging theme and it's fine now.
Guess I'm finally getting old, or at least my eyes are

I'll "sign" for anything that replaces the yellow background for "quoted text".

This change to yellow, makes the quote almost unreadable on my LCD as it makes the contrast (which is already badly lacking on an LCD) almost nil. Contrarily, it is garishly bright on my CRT monitor and makes my eyes water and sting.
Are you saying my problem is due to my using the Canadian Theme with Firefox and SeaMonkey? Are you saying I have to change the theme I love and have used for close to SIX YEARS to something else just to get rid of that yellow? That doesn't seem right. I love the Canadian theme. Isn't there some other option to just turn off that yellow? If not then what is similar to the Canadian theme with Red (I love red) but won't have that yellow that I can't read? Why was it changed anyway? I had no trouble reading the forums before (other than the ordinary problems caused by all LCDs and my CRT was fabulous here until now with the garishly over bright yellow).
From the comments here, I gather the color depends not only on the dslr theme used but also on the type of monitor used and the particular video card? I have a ATI card on the computer that uses the CRT monitor with the very garish bright yellow. I have a nVidia card on the computer using the LCD monitor with the pale yellow and practically no contrast.
I see no difference in the color based on which browser is used (IE and Opera are the same as Fx and SeaMonkey). The difference is due to the type of monitor and the video card. So, for some this is probably a very nice change but for others it is very bad. Could we have a way to just turn it off so I could keep my Canadian theme? And those who find it useful can enjoy it.

For those of you who are still seeing the yellow in quotes, have you tried cleaning your cache including offline content? I was seeing yellow last night but today I am seeing pale blue.
Edit: I just changed my theme from Chat to Canadian and I'm seeing the yellow in quotes. My mistake.
