I can't remember how I did this on my old 1.1.xx forum because it was back in 2007 but I'd like to be able to have an automatic break happen between the quote box and the actual reply to the quote. It used to drive me crazy when someone would quote something and their reply was just riding the bottom of the quote box so someone pointed out how to have a space added automatically but as I said that was back in 2007. I developed a habit over the years of adding the spacing myself but I notice most others don't which is why I wanted it done automatically.

For a quick text based visual just in case:

Currently it's -

quote
reply

I'd prefer -

quote
space
reply

Can someone share how I can achieve this? I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Drives me nuts too. You can fix it with CSS. Just add a bottom margin to the quote and code blocks.

/* A quote, perhaps from another post. */
blockquote.bbc_standard_quote, blockquote.bbc_alternate_quote
{
font-size: x-small;
color: #000;
line-height: 1.4em;
background: url(../images/theme/quote.png) 0.1em 0.1em no-repeat;
border-top: 2px solid #99A;
border-bottom: 2px solid #99A;
padding: 1.1em 1.4em;
margin: 0.1em 0 0.3em 0;
overflow: auto;
}


Increase that 0.3em bottom margin to whatever you like the look of. You can do the same for code blocks too (they're just after the quotes in index.css, and have no margin by default).
