[Bug:Minor] Block bbCode elements do not work in the shoutbox

Block elements such as spoiler, quote and code no longer work well in the shoutbox. This is entirely due to the CSS I've used to get the second line indenting.

However, they're also bad bbCode elements to use in the narrow space of the shoutbox anyhow.

For the moment, just don't use them. Later, I'll see if I can figure a way of preventing their use in the shoutbox. It's a little tricky, however.

thought the [ URL=][/url]was BB code...

It is. However, only bbCode that creates a block element (in HTML terms) is a problem.

For example, bold is an inline element as it does not affect the flow of this paragraph.

However,
quote is a block element
because it interrupts the flow to create a new "block" in the rendered output.
