  How do I quote on this site?

  by Nevuela in

  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  every time i've asked this in an existing thread, i've never gotten an answer, so forgive me for starting a new thread in order to ask again.

  i simply cannot figure out how to quote someone with the standard yellow box.

  i can copy/paste the quote, sure, but nothing i do makes it appear in a yellow box like everyone else.

  smiddy: My excuse is old age

  isn't that like, you know, ageist?

  A casual ageism that perpetuates the stereotype of older people

  If your doctor is a older doctor, check USA Today article.

  my doctor in his 60's so i hope he's ok.....forty-two percent of u.s physicians are older than 55, and 21% are senior citizens.

  some older doctors are calling for periodic screening for dementia or loss of competence.

  so are older doctors really worse than their young colleagues, on average they are, (holy sh--t).surgeons between the ages of 41-60 were more likely to keep their patient alive than were surgeons older than 60.....

  Evidence of the Superiority of Female Doctors

  New research estimates that if all physicians were female, 32,000 fewer Americans would die every year.

  sarah knapton, science editor .

  17 may 2017 • 6:00pmblood donors may no longer be needed in the future after scientists showed it was possible to create blood from stem cells.. the 20 year project could pave the way for an unlimited number of blood and immune cells for transplants, simply by reprogramming a patient’s own skin cells.. the research, reported in the journal nature, holds out enormous promise for developing personalised treatments for blood disorders, drug-screening and reducing shortages of donated blood.. dr ryohichi sugimura, of boston children's hospital, said: "this gives us the potential to have a limitless supply of blood stem cells and blood by taking cells from universal donors.

  FYI The Daily Telegraph's article appears to be based on the following three articles in the magazine Nature which describes itself as the "international weekly journal of science."

  That's cool

  it was simply your 'throwaway' comment:

  Could one website handle the traffic of 1.2 billion plus people?

  Which I understood to be a rhetorical-style question referencing the apparent lack of technology to handle this large number - vis-a-vis a website such as youtube that does actually handle 20 or so billion visitors with video files.

  I like to cross the t's and dot the i's

  TTaTT4U may be referring to this? But then again, if this was it, I'm sure they'd have provided a link themselves?

  I was purely making the factual comment that a website could handle 1.2 billion visits - therefore if the Catholic Church or Youtube or whoever wanted a website to cater for 1.2 billion people it is possible - there was no comment regarding the need or requirement or anything else - purely that it is technically possible.

  Therefore the reason why the Catholic Church does not have 'one' website is NOT because of an issue with the technology - it is for another reason - but do NOT blame the lack of technology as being the reason!

  I had already written:
  

  Could one website handle the traffic of 1.2 billion plus people?
  

  I believe youtube gets 20.5 billion visits-per-month - videos are not exactly 'light-weight' traffic

  So, yes, it is likely that one website could handle the traffic of 1.2 billion plus people.
