I think this new style definitely looks good. There seems to be a lot of extra space above the quote, though.
How can we improve quote boxes in scientific writing?

I'm bumping to mention that another vBulletin forum that I sometimes visit (less frequently than Physics Forums of course) doesn't have their quotes in italics only. I've been assuming that the italics was mandatory, but I guess I was wrong. I don't really see why we would want the quote to be in italics. It's already in a box, with a diferent background, and indented. Do we really need italics too?
If it's an easy fix, I suggest that we let the quotes appear as the person being quoted intended, with only this word in italics.

It is easy to fix. Anyone else?

Can't we have advanced editor that other vBulletin forums use? :shy:
I too prefer that quote boxes not be automatically italicized, so that actual italicized words will stand out as intended.Greg Bernhardt said:
