    The Quotes show what is happening and the output.

    So when you quote someone and acknowledge them then you get the quote in italics.

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    This is standard vBulletin behaviour. IIRC, it's going to be like this in 3.5 too. Unless they change things from RC3, which seems unlikely.

    It's a straightforward change to bbcode_quote in the Style Manager though: just add/remove the italic code where appropriate.

    I know why this happens, I just want to suggest that this should be made more consistent. Preferably by removing the italics from attributed quotes. It's rather strange at the moment.
