Suggestion Box

[ECBG]

When reading where a discussion has had several comments in one box, it's difficult to see where one poster stopped snd the next one started.  It's just one block of continuance sentances!

Yes, I agree.  I often have a problem following who is posting which thought in those discussions.

It is hard to tell the difference.It seemed easier and clearer before the overhaul but I can't remember why.Well, thats neither here nor there as my mother would say.

When I have included a quote, I try to use a color or larger font. See the A up above where all the icons are? Click on the little arrow next to it and pick your color

@I am still oxox, @ECBG - I agree with you it can be difficult.  I try to take the time to change my font color which makes it easier to decipher.

Thank You ! I just learned something NEW !  I always tried

clinking the A but never tried the Arrow next to it !!    

It's like opening up a new box of Crayons !!

Oh dear!  All the colors make my eyeballs bleed.

But one problem that could be easily fixed is that a lot of people seem to quote a post and then they make their reply INSIDE the quote box, instead of below the quote box, where the cursor naturally falls.  

I guess I just don't understand why one would move the cursor up into the quote box so that their post looks like a continuation of the quoted poster's post.

I tend to blow on by the ones that are too bright, too large, or posted in all bolded (yelling).

One other thing - I think the board should code quotes so that they come out italicized.  This is the exact purpose for italics - you use them to quote somebody. 

Don't get me started on when people actually italicize their own posts so you are left wondering - are you quoting somebody else or is this you talking?  But I digress...

I feel like I have to italicize posts that I quote to make clear that they are quotes and that what I type BELOW the quoted box is my reply.

I"ve had the cursor jump up into the quote box a few times.  Pretty sure it was something that I did but, if so, I don't know what it was.  Once it jumps into the quote box area, I haven't been able to get it out unless I cancel and start over again. .

I think it's only respectful to cancel and start over if the cursor is being stubborn and won't move out of the quoted area.  Good for you, @scotnovel 

I find that switching between Rich Text and HTML might help when you want the cursor to move, but not always.
