I've noticed that Colin and Anya often italicize the post text instead of using the board's actual quote feature

I guess it's easier than manually writing out the quote tags like I do.

I don't like how the quotes look and I have no idea how to code to make the quote box "all pretty", so yea.

On I1, the quote code was really complicated because the post itself actually included all the HTML required to form the quote

Me, I click on the "Quote" thingy at the top right of each post

VIDEO IS BLUE AND BLUE ON THE THING

I italize stuff on my posts, so quoting in italics isn't a good idea...

Then again, I could bold it instead like it's supposed to be. Bleh.

I tend to use italics for emphasis of certain words and some short phrases in my posts

At least historically, it was common-ish to use italics for actions in posts *types them like this instead*

I don't do much with bold online. Sometimes I use underlining to call attention to specific letters, as in "It's tongue, not tounge!".

Before:
<blockquote><font class=fonts><i>Originally posted by whoever</i></font><hr>stuff<hr></blockquote>

Now:
[quote=whoever]stuff[/quote]


But making it look pretty hasn't changed at all

I can't use bold to point stuff out because....all my text is already bold.

My style usually varies depending on the situation:


Normal

Emphasis/headings

Narrative

"Dialogue"

"Voice-over"

"Emphasized/angry/possessed dialogue"

<Intercom/terminal dialogue>


Of course, only the first two are really used outside of the SF

I use italics for emphasis on my posts, but I hardly ever use emphasis on any words in my posts.

There's never really any reason for me to add emphasis anyways.

Sometimes I use the quote tags, but I figure that italics are easier to use. Plus most people can still tell it's a quote.

Yeah, Colin, but sometimes it's not obvious who said it and I have to go back and wade through the posts to find out Or I could use Ctrl-F, I suppose.

True, but... it's faster!

Plus sometimes it takes a while to go back into the thread and find the quote link, especially if the thread's lagging for some reason.
