Block quote only fills half width of page

Hello,

I’ve actually had this issue for awhile now and don’t know exactly what’s causing it. For some reason, every time someone quotes another user, the quote will only fill half the width of the page, instead of extending the full width.

Before switching to Unified a few days ago, we used the default theme and had the same issue. The problem is exacerbated when viewed using the mobile theme and only displays a few lines of text.

We use the Gonzo WordPress theme. Any suggestions on how to get the quote to fill the full space?

Is there any chance of a link to a thread where I can see this directly and – if a guest will I be able to see it?

OK – for some reason your WP theme (http://www.seganerds.com/wp-content/themes/gonzo/css/style_main.css) on line 43, is assigning a blockquote with a width of 48% and this width is imposing itself on the forum post display.

Is that rule really necessary?

Hmmm, thanks for that. I didn’t design the theme, so I’m not sure the reasoning for that. I’ll discuss with the theme author. Thank you for your help.
