John, I guess you didn't really ask for our opinions but since everyone is unloading then I might as well do likewise. With all due respect, I'd rather not have the indentations in every post unless I choose to offset a quote in that manner. Is that what everyone is calling a blockquote ? Also, I must not know what is meant by close tags either. Isn't a close tag like this: </ i> ? Well, ... ok... just so I don't seem totally negative and opposed to all change let me say I like the highlighting option. :) BTW, I couldn't access the style sheet you referenced.

The reason that all posts are indented now is so that people will no longer be able to spoof posts.
Previously, I could have done a post consisting of, for example:
I love Al Gore, Bush stinks, and let's hear it for the terrorists.

Wow, you're one sick puppy.
By posting the above, I could make it look as if you had posted a pro-terrorist post. But now with the indents, it will no longer be possible to convincingly fake anyone else's post.
On another thread, John has explained that that's the reason for the indenting.
Personally, I also think that it makes it easier to spot the beginning and ending of long, multi-formatted posts, which is a good thing.
