Version 2 has been released. ;)

For those that have downloaded V2 I forgot to add the style in the upgrade doc. Instead of downloading it can be found here:

Admin CP > Look & Feel > CSS > IPB_Style.css add anywhere:

.random_quote a{
	background-color: #1d3652;
	color: #d5dde5;
	font-size: 0.8em;
	text-align: center;
	margin: 6px 0 0 0;
	padding: 6px;
		display:block;
	-moz-border-radius: 6px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 6px;
}

.random_quote a:hover {
	background-color: #2F547D;
	color: #d5dde5;
	font-size: 0.8em;
	text-align: center;
	margin: 6px 0 0 0;
	padding: 6px;
		display:block;
	-moz-border-radius: 6px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 6px;
}

[Edit] I figured it out!

Thanks for the neat mod!

[xBlur]

I tried making it as simple as possible and explain it as well as I could. Guess not ;)
Glad you sorted it though. I didn't know what you were having problems with but yeah haha.

I'm gonna try make it better once I get more time to learn how to get more advanced. But right now I'm hardly at home.

It was no big deal. I thought the mod was displaying a limited amount of characters (from a looong testimonial). I was asking if there was a way to configure the mod to display more characters - but I figured out it would display the complete testimonial if I formatted the text with html tags ;)

[xBlur]

You can use HTML and as far as I know there should be no limit. It has no limit coding in there but I have only tested it out with as much as you see. Remember, 1 quote per line or it will make it as a new one. Glad you got it sorted though ;).
