Bold text in quotes?

[angelX]

This has bugged me for a while but I've never thought to ask about it before. How come it's not possible to put bold text into quotes any more? For example:

This text is in bold (duh!)

This text is in bold (duh!)

 

[Mikl C]

............ there's a who in the whatnow?

 

[RJF]

Um... it is in bold in the quote box.

 

[IMHO]

If this were a forum problem, I'd suggest a patch.

But clearly the problem is with your eyes and I certainly don't think an eye-patch would help.

HA.HA.HA.

It bugged me for a while too, but it seems to be fixed now...

Maybe it's our computers? I'm on a library computer now, but I'm sure it doesn't show up as bold on my laptop.. (It's broke now, can't check.)

They both look bold to me.

Maybe take a screencap of the problem?

 

[angelX]

Well that's weird! I assumed it was like that for everyone. It used to work with me but not for a good while now. Look:

Well…

Your quote looks bold to me too, but I often can't see bold text in quotes properly either (I think it just appears as a slightly different font). Maybe it was temporarily fixed to embarrass you.

normal test normal test bold test bold test normal test italics test strikethrough test everything test

This text is in bold (duh!)

This text is in bold (duh!)

text that angelX didn't post, to see whether it behaves differently with non-manual quotes

more text that angelX didn't post

and even more

I can't preview posts properly in Chrome so I'll have to post to see whether the bold text works, whether it doesn't, or whether I've made a complete clusterfuck of the BBCode.

edit: everything looks fine to me. I don't know what went right.

It depends on your browser. Are you using an old version of Firefox, angelX?

 

[angelX]

Nope, Google Chrome. I used to use Internet Explorer but that got shit, which I think most would agree on.

 

[Ice Cream Skies]

I'm using Google Chrome too, but I can still see that your text is in bold.

I tried this on my netbook where I use Firefox (I don't think it's an old version, given how often it's boasting to me about its recent updates), and that's where I couldn't see the bold text properly. But angelX uses Chrome, so... er, do you use a netbook? Is it a "netbook thing?"

It used to do this for me too, recently, bolding in quotations works now.
