Basically, the idea behind this is that by adding an 'r' onto the end of the default [quote] mycode, the quote box is coloured red instead of the default colour. The closing [/quote] can also have the same 'r' for consistency but this isn't required. Together with [quoteg] and [quoteb] for green and blue respectively, people can colour their quotes differently for whatever reason they may want (variety/novelty, or to make nested quotes more legible, etc).
The problem however, is that I can't quite work out how to convert the unix timestamp generated by the forums automatically into a readable date line. Ideally I'd like it to also automatically work out the (Today 01:55 PM) type of date lines that the default quotes display, but I'd settle for just a datey date line.
