New Quoting Feature
For those who feel the need to quote portions of a post in their replies, this can now be more easily accomplished using the following 'shorthand' syntax:

quote:
"text-to-be-quoted"
 
 
Whatever text appears between the curly braces will be rendered in gray italics and indented, like this:

The feature has been added. See my post in the  
Announcements forum."
 
 
Thanks,  
 
How do I change color, :-)  
 
quote:
"(Gray is OK.)"
 
 
Öööö, is there something wrong, it

Mikko,  
 
Thanks for spotting the bug. Its fixed now.  
 
If you want to change the color, you still have to do it the hard way, with HTML. The idea was to provide a quick and easy way to quote text with a minimum of keystrokes; if you had to specify the color every time, it wouldn't be quick and easy anymore. :-)
