   "each comment typed is automatically wrapped in quote marks"

   Depending on your theme, you could add *something like*

   .comment-content:before {
   	content: open-quote;
   }
   
   .comment-content:after {
   	content: close-quote;
   }

   what code are you using to output the comments?

   what theme are you using?

   can you post a link to your site?

   alchymyth-

   its a custom theme that ive been developing, its based on the amber weinberg template hijinx, how ever its been updated since so its probally not the same http://www.amberweinberg.com/hijinks-a-wordpress-basic-framework/

   unfortunatly im not aloud to post a link to the site but to out put the comments im using

   <?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
   	<h3 id="comments"><?php comments_number('No Comments', 'One Comment', '% Comments' );?></h3>
   
   	<ol class="commentlist">
   	<?php wp_list_comments('avatar_size=60'); ?>
   	</ol>

   is there anything else that might help?

   cubecolor- the comments are outputted using the p tag so would i use something like this?

   .comment-content p:before {
   content: open-quote;
   }

   .comment-content p:after {
   content: close-quote;
   }

   cheers guys :)
