This will change the boring vBulletin quote into something with a little more life and spice for your forums. Change the boring quote bbCode to a little more snazz.

go to your styles and templates and locate the bbCode template group.
Double click the bbcode_quote template and replace the entire contents with
PHP:
<div style="margin:20px; margin-top:5px; <if condition="$show['iewidthfix']">width: 100%;</if>">

<div style="width:100%">
        
            <if condition="$show['username']">

                <div class="quotetop">
                    $vbphrase[quote]: <phrase 1="$username">$vbphrase[originally_posted_by_x]</phrase>
                    <if condition="$postid"><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$postid#post$postid" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/viewpost.gif" border="0" alt="$vbphrase[view_post]" /></a></if>
                </div>
                <div style="font-style:italic" class="quotemain">$message</div>
            <else />
    <div class="smallfont quotetop">$vbphrase[quote]:</div>
                <div class="quotemain">$message</div>
            </if>
</div>
</div>
Save your new template, and open up the Main CSS editor (choose Main CSS From drop down)

All the way at the bottom under additional CSS enter
PHP:
.quotetop
{
    width=98%
    color: #000;
    margin: 8px auto 0px auto;
    font-weight:bold;
    font-size:10px;
    padding: 8px;
    background-color:#E4EAF2;
    border-left: 4px solid #8394B2;
    border-top: 1px dotted #000;
    border-right: 1px dotted #000;
}
.quotemain
{
    width=98%
    color: #465584;
    background-color: #FAFCFE;
    border-left: 4px solid #8394B2;
    border-right: 1px dotted #000;
    /*border-top: 1px dotted #000;*/
    border-bottom: 1px dotted #000;
    padding: 4px;
    margin: 0px auto 8px auto;
}
End result is the attached image.
 
i was wondering if i could edit the code template to look like the ipb code design, so is it possible to conver the stupid vb code box template to look more like ipb?

also the ones for html and php would be nice to convert to ipb style too
