Default Quoting other posts...
What is happening with quoting previous posts?

For example I will quote a post from one thread onto a different thread but the forum wants to break up the quotes into multiple quotes. Does anyone know why that is happening?

No. I still don't know how to even do multiple quotes. I just copy/paste myself because I'm too lazy to figure out multiple quotes.

When I tried to quote two different posts I only wanted two quotes but it turned into four quotes.

I'm afraid I'm with Beefche...if I want to quote from multiple posts, I would cut and past onto a document, then cut and paste into my new post. In fact, I used copy and paste with the Eowyn string I started. Kudos to those more patient than I with the "bells and whistles" feature. :-)

How do you quote a post from one thread into a different one besides copying and pasting the quote you want (either using the quote function so you get the title and post link or doing it manual style)? I know how to multiquote in the same thread but I just tried multiquoting into a different thread and it just plain didn't work. I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do.

You might look around the reviews and see if the issues are those you can live with. It's one thing to buy it for yourself, another to give as a gift.

For example.

Dahlia's post that I just quoted from a different thread is really one post with 2 paragraphs. It appears that this forum wants to make each paragraph a separate quote. I'm pretty sure this didn't used to happen.

So this is a protein designed to trigger apoptosis (or cell death) that combines with other proteins already in the cell that will attach to the dsRNA of the virus to keep it from reproducing. Once the attachment is accomplished, the signal for apoptosis goes out.

Are viruses the only dsRNA? What about viruses that are not a dsRNA structure? Are there other dsRNA in the body that this protein might combine with? What about other RNA, like mRNA? If it combines with those, it will stop protein production and trigger apoptosis..

It doesn't really cure you either... It just helps your body fight the infection faster. What if your immune system is weak and slow to respond to a viral infection? If it doesn't produce enough of the proteins that attach to the dsRNA, the DRACO protein wouldn't be very effective. Then again, what if its TOO good at fighting infections?

I'm still not sure what to think of it. After a deeper read I'm not quite as worried about it, but it is still difficult to understand completely and I still think there are plenty of opportunities for something to go wrong.
Testing...

Edit: Doesn't seem to be replicating.

Do you quote it first and then copy and paste it? I tried it that way and it told me my message had to be more than 3 characters. If I just copy and paste the post, it doesn't give the "Originally posted by...."

I've never thought much about this before..but it's bugging me I can't figure it out. hahaha
