Hey guys,

When I chose to quote something that one of you said in one of my posts on this forum, I was able to see the quote as a preview instead of just indented like on my site. What options are you guys implementing to have that done? I really like that.

not sure what you mean...  as a preview?  we have the post preview plugin installed here, but doesnt really have anything to do with quoting - it previews anything...

or are you just referring to a stylng on the quoted text???

When I press "Add Reply" and quote your text, I like that it is already in a bubble on your site.

On my site this does not work. It only indents the quoted text. Also, must press return and unquote to write my own reply under the quote whereas it's all ready to go here on your forum.

Ah - this is probably because we have a customised 'content.css' file which is what the tinyMCE editor uses to set the css for the editor as you create a post.

You are welcome to try ours to see if it suits your site but it might need a little tweaking  I am not sure. Either way - I will attach it here so you can download it and give it a try. Put it in the /styles folder of your Simple:Press theme....

I uploaded it but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Can you give the site a peek?

Thanks

Well I can not create posts anyway so that doesn't really help.

Try the following:

  1. Go to the forum admin > Toolbox > Housekeeping: run the task to 'Reset combined CSS cache'.
  2. Clear your browser cache to make sure it retrieves a fresh copy of everything.

 See if that picks it up.
