Multi-quote?

[LeatherneckPA]

Who can tell me how to do that multi-quote thing so I can answer several statements within one thread at once. *My memory isn't good enough to remember who I'm supposed to be answering what to?

The way I do it (and there may be other ways to flay this feline): 1st, click the "quote" button on the first post you wish to quote from. Delete whatever portions of the text you wish to ignore.

Then, open another browser window and locate the other post/s you'd like to quote from. Click the quote button for that post, then edit as usual. After getting the editing done, copy that quote (highlight it with your mouse then right click and copy or use the Ctrl C key combo. NOTE: Be sure to copy all the code at the beginning and end of the quote.

Go back to the window that has the post you're working on, then paste in what you copied. If I did it correctly in my example, it will look like this:

your saying people did math? wow. didn't know we still knew how to do that.


Come to think of it, If I did it incorrectly, it would still look like that since whatever is visible is my fault, whether or not I got it right.

Then, of course, be sure to add in your erudite and pithy responses which we all look forward to reading. Is that as clear as mud? :P

I use Notepad. The free word processing software that comes with Windows. It is in the accessories folder.

I just click quote on a reply, I want to reply to. Then I copy the contents and paste them too Note pad. Then I can reply to each, trim them up so Folks know what part I am replying too. When I am finished I copy everything on note pad and paste it into the forum reply box, then click post.
