How do I use Multi-Quote? in Forum Help! · Nov 25, 2011

=Aal_Mahmud;36354813]New here, so can someone just tell me how to quote multiple posts at once and reply to them all in one go?

Pretty sure this was already answered in this thread, but I don't have the patience to dig through everything right now... would probably just confuse me more.

My bad! This post is useless now. Figured it out on my own. Thanks.

I think this exact question was already answered in this thread, but if I tried reading through everything right now, I'd probably just get confused and lose track...

My bad! This post is totally useless. Forget my question, I figured out how to do it just now. Thanks.

Just deleted, marked, and hit the icon—done.

That happens because you forget to ditch the massive quote block after you highlight and cite specific bits... you just leave the whole damn thing from when you hit the quote button at the bottom. Just kill that first quote before you start typing your reply. ".

Nah, then his name won't even show up

nor will there be a link back to his original post. What I always do is just snip the tag from the end and slap it onto the end of the first section you actually want to talk about,

and then for everything else, just use that "highlight then quote" trick

let me see how it looks

You gotta wipe that first quote out before you start adding your own commentary. But if you do that, you lose the person's name and the link back to their original post. So, here's the move: do what I always do—just grab that

tag from the very end of the post and paste it right after the specific section you actually want to reply to, then use the "highlight and quote" method for the rest of your stuff.

So just kill that first quote before you even start typing your reply. But then you lose the username and the link to the original post, so I usually just do my thing and cut[/I]

the end of the post and slap it onto the end of the part I actually want to talk about, then use that "highlight and quote" trick for everything else...

Deleted, highlighted, and commented

My bad! This post was totally unnecessary. I'm gonna scrap my question because I figured it out on my own. Thanks.

Just practicing

I have a feeling this exact question has been addressed somewhere in this thread already, but honestly, trying to dig through everything right now would just lead to a massive headache and I’d probably lose my way before finding the answer.

My bad! Scratch that—this post is totally redundant. I figured out how to do it just now. Thanks anyway.
