How can we improve RAT in 2012

[mcbishop]

One regular poster (I can't remember who) uses a different colour for quotes to help them stand out. I thought it helped, so I started doing it, too. Just highlight the quoted text and click on the little colour palette in the "boardcode" section.

The old system used to insert a box for you so no need for extra mucking around with colours (it's not exactly a major coding job to achieve the same effect but this template appears not to implement it). Computers are, after all, supposed to make things easier, not harder. ;-) The current template also inserts an ugly extra space under quotes which means you have to remember not to put your own return in. All trifling niggles, but they would be nice to clean up, given the widespread use of quoting by posters.
