Is there anyway to make this actually work? When you quote someone else, it's dialogue runs right into your own with no line distinction, no indentation, nothing.
Many people have argued with the wrong person about the wrong thing because no one could tell one person's writing from another.
Can't you at least put the quoted material in a box?
Thanks

I agree there should be something to separate the two. I get confused when there's several quotes in one post as to who wrote what. 
I usually put a line between the quote & my post.

I HATE WHEN THE TEXT ENDS UP TEENY TINY AT THE TOP, THE DEFAULT PLACE FOR THE CURSOR.
I think you can see the problem here admin.
I visited the eve/social strata/hoop.la website and could determine nothing from it. Except...the basic version is free if anyone wanted to start their own forum. I'm thinking this software didn't cost that much, so why not switch again to something more user friendly. Not holding my breath or anything...
I'm guessing the TD would want another Social Strata format, and that's okay. Who uses the FB feature to sign in? I don't. If we wanted to post an article on FB, we would just use the URL, right?
I particularly dislike having to return to top of page to change forum topics, i.e. go from Misc. to News.There doesn't seem to be a way to see a list of member's previous posts either. My dialog box always shows one unread topic, even though there is none. I could go on...

Let's see if they can tell who is who.

I don't think they care. They probably see it as our problem, not theirs.
If I have two or more post to quote, I usually do it like I did this one. Add the ID of the person I'm quoting above their post. May take an extra minute but it's not confusing as to which quote belongs to who.
I have found just putting the text in different colors helps. But some disappear on the background. Blues and reds work: yellow, pink, and orange fade away.
If you don't like it, either fix it yourself or start you own forum and stop whining..
Until it gets fixed, I'll just do what I've done on other message boards and put whatever I'm quoting in italics. Also, as long as it's like this, it's a bad idea to quote more than one person. Just copy and paste the text you want to respond to rather than use the quote button.

Guess I always wondered who owned this forum.. Oh ain't you a liberal and you are telling someone to stop whining ..lmao

Bypass the rubber hammer, use the real thing.
I agree. The quote feature is important for conversations. It doesn't work well in this forum.
The last forum, you could just highlight the particular text you wanted to reply to and it would be quoted in your post. It would also say who wrote the text, making it easier to follow. This is just jumbled together and eventually the post dies simply because it's confusing.
