Styling comments and notifications

(OK, I fumbled this one and posted it to the wrong comm, so this time I'm double checking to make sure it goes to the right location)

My question is this: I would like to style replies and IP address notifications for [community profile] mag7wallpapers.

Using Firebug I discovered that span.de is what I needed to style. I followed the instructions used on this web page but the result wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. The notice now covers the Post comment, Preview and More options buttons, and I can't figure out how to separate the two.

I would also like to lower the Quote button next to Subject, or move it up - make that whole area neater, because the elements are all over the place - if it can be done. And also, have the notice expand to the width of the textarea.

Help?

It's making me regret that I don't have the laptop I had until a few days ago (it was a friend's and he wanted it back). It was a 15" HP Pavilion Limited Edition, it ran XP with SP3, and had no Vista fonts, etc. Just like yours. It would have been perfect for trying to see what the problem was. If you want to leave my code for the Quote button off that's fine; I tested it again tonight at your layout's new width in 1280 x 768, 800 x 600, and 600 x 400, and again, it seemed to improve things, but I can't see what you're seeing, so, so be it.

At least we tried!

I love your IP notice image and background color, BTW; that was a very creative way to code it. :)
