This really irks me. People who have their forumtext in a quote box. Seriously. What. The. Fuck. Quotes are quotes, you're confusing people, it looks even more cramped (this especially bugs me when people have the side forumtext AND the quote box) and you just look stupid. The same thing goes for the code box. Why are you doing this? Why? To be cool? To have a new background color? Stop it please. The code box is for codes and the quote box is for quotes. sakldfjwlkdfa. -rage-
I've actually never seen anyone do that but I can imagine it'd be very confusing.
I agree with you. So annoying. I often skip right past people's posts which is unfair to them (even if it's their own fault) because the one thing you want to do when posting in a forum is get people to notice you, right? If not, they should go to a friendless journal :D
In all seriousness though, please get rid of it. ):
I actually don't mind it. XD But I supposed I could understand why it can be considered annoying.
most of the people doing that have really ugly looking forumtexts, imo. especially if the image isn't transparent or it's freaking huge.
you shouldn't have a cool-looking forumtext at the cost of everyone else's eyesight :(
i admit the quote/code box forumtexts can get a little annoying to look at.
especially if the space's already limited by aligned art/image.
I fall for those quotes all the time ^_^; Now I find myself not reading real quotes thinking they're part of a forumset.
It's too much. Sometimes I am trying to decide whether it's part of someone's post or forum set. I hate it so much. :x
I don't really like it oo. I'm always thinking it's a quote and looking for the 'real' post of the person :x It's really annoying, even more then the people who have 300px picture on the right site of their post ._.
Oh you mean people who have like, forum thing like me, but then under it have a box that says quote and it says something? If that's what you mean. I hate that to, it annoys the heck out of me, and now a lot of people seem to be doing it..
I find it confusing. I end up reading their signature line at the bottom thinking that is the post after the code box and don't understand why it doesn't make any sense in the context of the thread. Then I have to go searching around the rest of the post for the actual content of the post itself. Once I get that far I usually forget what the thread was about in the first place.
Yeah it doesn't bug me how it looks really, it just confuses me, ha.
I don't like it. I admit quote boxes are JUST for quotes. I've seen a few people do this.
i especially hate when theres a quote box, as well as some random ass text after it thats part of their forum text. so it basically looks like theyre quoting someone and replying with a bad song lyric.
i can hardly even explain that correctly. THATS how confusing it is D:
Thank you. I feel the same way about those quote boxes. I've just skipping past anyone doing that. I won't even try to read or find what they've typed.

I don't find it annoying unless it's a lot of stuff and on top of that you have forumtext images aligned to the right/left. then it's cramped... but I'm rather laid back and don't find it that bad, really.
