Why are quotations in lighter coloured font

[OzSpen]

Is this a feature or problem with the software that whenever I use the quote option it gives the citation in lighter coloured font? Here's an example:

16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

I find that to be a distraction in reading a post. Is there some way to fix the quote so that the font colour is not reduced in its sharpness?

Or, could I be doing something with the quote that shouldn't be done? Would I be better to use only the indent? Let's try:

16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

That would be by design with our forum scheme; it is a shade lighter than I probably personally would have chosen. I'll play with the formatting a bit and see if we can darken it up.

Thanks, Hammer,

That would be a help as I'm having to squint to read the lighter words at times.

Does this work for you?

You haven't provided a back quote citation, so I have no way of knowing if the quote is in light colour. However, your quote of 1 Peter 3:15 is in faded colour, which is the problem I mentioned.

Could it have to do with my browser? I use Firefox. I'll try opening with Chrome to see if that happens.

Thanks,

Hammer,

Google Chrome is no better. It has the same effect of lightening the colour of the citation.

Once I make the change, it's CSS-based which translates to it being retroactive. It updated, but it's still not dark enough. It displays much more darkly on my Mac but doesn't do so well on this Windows box I am on. I'll darken it further.

And no, the 1 Peter 3:15 is a custom signature color, so it won't change.

In my post #103 in this thread, http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/21225-biblical-literalism-correlates-with-anti-science/page-4, the quote is much closer to the darkness of the other writing I did. Thanks so much for working on this to enlighten my visual ability.

Glad we could help. I think the whole thing may get a redesign but that's my problem and not yours. ;)
