By far the easiest hack I have done and very nice and useful.
Now being that CSS can be used in this way, are the other possibilities for quote blocks in this way?

Sure, you can experiment with it, it shouldn't harm anything

very cool, much better looking!
Did you use wordlets to change the background color of the small 'quote:'?
Thanks,

I guess I am just an idiot - The line that is quoteblock .small which I assume sets up the parameters for the section that says quote: does not work for me <style type="text/css">
blockquote {
font-size: 9pt;
border: 3px solid #34669a;
background: #FDF5E6;
color: black;
margin: 12px 20px;
padding: 0px 10px
}
blockquote .small {
background: #34669A;
color: white;
margin-left:-10px;
padding: 1px 2px
}
blockquote hr {
visibility: hidden;
height: 1px
}
blockquote br {
font-size: 1px
}
</style> what am I doing wrong?

In ubb_lib_posting.cgi and ubb_lib.cgi, before the part of "quote:" and "code:", add ' ', and afterwards, add ' '.

I can only guess you are referring to sections that look like this:
*** deleted cause it was obviously not the right area ***
there are no areas that match what you refer to since wordlets are used
then there are something like 3 or 4 areas in each file that might match taking wordlets into consideration
oh well.... as I said....

I guess nothing is ever as simple as it appears.
This "mod" appeared to be simple, yet as published it does not do what is displayed here.
It takes further modifications and unfortunately what you have said LK does not affect anything - assuming (big word) I have place the div tags in the right place which considering wordlets I have.
I did not put it the sections that undoes the code for editing - only in the section where it converts the ubb code to what is displayed.
Suggestions???

i tried this: <style type="text/css">
blockquote {
font-size: 9pt;
border: 1px solid #c3c3c3;
background: #f6f6f6;
color: black;
margin: 0px 20px;
padding: 0px 10px
}
div.small {
background:#e5e5e5;
color: black;
margin-left:-10px;
padding:1px 2px
}
blockquote hr {
visibility:hidden;
height:1px
}
blockquote br {
font-size:1px
}
</style> and it was the closest I could get to this actually working as shown on this board (changed the second blockquote to div) but it would then do the whole line in the different color

but adding anything to only the two lines that create the code causes for all the created code to appear if the post is edited so obviously there must be much more to make that dang little box a different color perhaps too much to even freaking bother with i have lost two hours of sleep messing with this  i'm such an idiot

before I edit your post , that's the designed behaviour of the code tags, not this modification. It is set to keep your line breaks the same, because if you are posting actual code, that's a very important feature. use the quote tag if you need line breaks, that's what it is for CaCoffin, if you haven't edited the quote tags in ubb_lib_posting.cgi, then yours should work the same as those here. Please give me a link to a post at your site that isn't looking right using the code as specified here

I have absolutely ZERO mods to the board -
I have erased my previous attempt to enter this mod -
I have rentered the MOD EXACTLY has shown - (copy / paste to be exact)
It does not left align the word "code" or "quote" and it does not have the extra coloring around the word.
Here is what code I do have in that same section:
X X X deleted by me X X X

#1 I am truly a doofus! #2 I failed to read Header INSERT #3 I had other code in there too that was not working well with the rest #4 I erased that other coding #5 Put just the style coding for the quote in there #6 Still does not work #7 I know why but I don't know why blockquote .small on your pages you have this code: code:
<blockquote><font class="small">code:</font>
but on mine (again no mods) it is: code:
[qb]<blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">code:</font> I have no font class small! So where is this being used instead of what I have???? (That is where in the control panel do I have something that can be changed to "small"?)

ubb_lib.cgi and ubb_lib_posting.cgi, where you see the code/quote things, you can just put class="small" after .

We have completely different templates based on our css work we did a few months back, so yeah, they're different. Do as LK said and it should work for you. You'll most likely need to experiment to make sure editing/quoting those posts with quotes/codes work out right - you'll probably need to put it in where it changes ubb code to html, and also where it changes html back to ubbcode.

Thank you
It now works for the average schmendrick (me) that has no MODS installed (other than this one now).
I have been trying to make zero MODS to the coding. I can get them installed just fine but then when a new version of the UBB comes out I managed to mess everything up and have lost everything several times over the last two years.
Which of course has caused us to lose many members.
So I don't do any hacking of the actual files anymore.
If a "mod" is going to be done by me it has to be something that can be done in such a way that it does not alter the member files (main cause of problems for me) and can easily be redone with an upgrade (thus does not mess with the posts either).
One of these days I'll get into the templates thing and figure some stuff out but for now, so as not to chase members away I have to leave things alone.
Thanks for the help on this one!

Hey CaCoffin, set up a test forum to practice on... until you get the hang of it you really don't wanna modify your live site without making sure it works ahead of time. What works for me may not work for you based on what other things we both have installed.

It adds a nice box around the quote and code, but the .small reference is useless.
