Blockquote visibility

Title:
Blockquote visibility

Area:
Site scemes

Summary:
Blockquotes are difficult to visually identify in site-scheme pages.

Description:
Currently, site-scheme comment pages display blockquotes with a small indent (15px by my browser). In most instances, this indent is unnoticeable, leading viewers to not even realize that a blockquote exists in the post, especially if they are linked to an entry directly rather than viewing it on their reading page. This can become a problem when posters attempt to quote material from other posters or blogs - the current behavior does not immediately make it obvious the statements were quotes from a different person. (I've been horribly lost in several meta/essay posts until I managed to see the tiny indent.) I'd like to see a much larger indent or some sort of visual identifier (thin border, slightly different color to background?) on blockquotes.

In the inbox, this shows with absolutely zero indent. That also needs fixing.
