When using blockquote "> " in markdown, can this be styled to have a different coloured background, as well as being indented? The current one is very slight, and at some angles is completely indistinguishable from the normal background.

This might just be a styling issue for my particular site.......

The blockquote ">" syntax is converted to a pure blockquote tag in html, then is all a matter of styling. By default is indented:

like this

Although the background color change is not very perceptible. You can always use the custom css block in the admin panel to add some custom styling to blockquotes.

I'm not sure who is an admin for ask.sqlservercentral.com - there must be someone at redgate with this access?

I think so, the admin and moderator privileges where kept during the migration. You are a moderator yourself I believe.
