I don't really know how to explain this, but in the past few days, if I'm reading a post with a quoted post in it, the quoted part is showing up in much lighter print than my response.
If someone is responding to something that has two quoted posts in it, the first quoted post is REALLY light, the 2nd quoted post is light and then the final person's post is in normal "strength".
If you want an example, look at the "Merry Christmas Not!" thread, post #68. That's an example of what I'm talking about.
I'm on my Mac this morning, but last night I was on my ipad and when looking at any thread with quoted posts in it, some of them were showing up so light in color saturation that I could barely read the quoted stuff.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Yes, the oldest post in the quote is almost invisible. I hope that will change at some point.

Thanks! I feel so much better now- LOL. I thought maybe it was just my eyes. I think this faded text thing must be a recently added feature- like in the last several days. I didn't notice it when they first changed the boards.

Since the change, it's looked like that.
When I access the board through my iphone, it looks totally different. Each quote is seperated by a solid line. And the thread titles are in a nice teal blue color.

The old "box" format was much easier to read. Also easier to see the separation between your response and the post you were quoting.
When I remember, I put a line between them as some here have suggested.

It's intentional, because so many objected to the "quotes of quotes of quotes" format of the previous board. IMO this isn't the ideal way to address the issue, because you still have to scroll down through allllll the quoted posts to get to what the replier is saying. But it does make it easier to know who is saying what. If you can read it at all

Yes, this.
One thing I REALLY like about the new forums is that it's easy to get RID of some of the quotes. On the old forum, if I wanted to reply to a post that quoted 4 others, it was very difficult for me to remove the 3 posts that weren't relevant. That's what really led to the huge strings of quoted posts. Now I can quote that post, delete the 3 older quotes, and reply to the relevant part.That's a huge improvement and will help get rid of some of those long quote stacks.

The faded quotes are very weird!
