lookwhaticando Posted 25 August 2006 Share Posted 25 August 2006 I haven't cracked multiple quoting yet so don't get too excited The way I do it is to right click on the 'reply' button of the other message I wish to quote and hit 'Open in new window' (or new tab for Firefox), then copy and paste that into the reply box I've already got going. Whether there's a more sophisticated way, I don't know. Yes there is... haha, imagine that! To quote several posts, hit the 'Quote' button at the bottom right of a persons post, select as many posts as you like (you'll know you've selected one because the quote button turns red) and then hit 'Add Reply' at the bottom of the page. Lo and behold all the posts you wish to quote have been quoted! Nifty! (If you select a post in error, before you hit Add Reply, just click the quote button for that post again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
