There are four “buttons” (edit, quote, multi-quote, & quick reply) at the bottom right of each post. The second from the right (quote marks on orange background) is the “Multi Quote” icon.

| Thank ya Gordmay, Thank ya.!!
At the absolute risk of appearing like a fresh baked newbie I have been trying to figure out ( for a while I sheepishly add ) how to even reply to a post using a quoted phrase /section. I hereby give myself the "dipstick of the month award" after I realised how #$%^ easy it was. Thanks Gordmay. |

I finally figured out why people are quoting the whole message in their posts instead of just selected phrases. It's because even if you select a phrase and use the quote button the whole post gets quoted. I have always used the quote icon on the tool bar to quote text that I have selected and copied/pasted into my post. Should the quote button copy the whole post into a new post? It makes for some extremely long threads and unnecessary scrolling. I would like to see the quote function changed to just copy the selected text into the new post. |
