The current quote boxes are simply gigantic.

I'd suggest a smaller yet more comfortable quoting method, considering that quotes are most often used to reply to other people's text. So, what I came up with is this:


It looks smaller, concentrates on a single line (does literally need the line to be selected though) and doesn't make a GET request just to get a comment's text.

The mail-like quote syntax does in fact look a bit iffy, but in my opinion it's livable with and completely preferable over the current bloaty quote.

I wrote an user-script implementing this, so you could try it out instantly: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/164774
The source code for that is here: https://gist.github.com/boxmein/5365649

That? I'd enjoy that as well, to be honest...
I for one know that TPT had a greentext parser once so the code should in practice be still there (unless Simon deleted it >_>)

From tumblr, that's actually a great way to manage quoting. Less spacing but it's still a bit too much :D

Next level, what do you think? It's written only in CSS, injected with the help of an userscript.
