How do I use Multi-Quote?

William Newman2 said:Then you better explain how that works, because I've tried and it’s just not happening. When I click multi-quote, nothing happens. When I finally hit quote, I only get your post. 🙂

William Newman2 said:The system will automatically wrap all those posts in Quote tags. From there, you can manually strip out the junk, bold the important stuff, or drop your own comments between the quotes.[/I]

Is someone actually paying attention here? 🙏

If you're trying to grab a bunch of different posts at once, just hit that "Multi-Quote" button (it's right next to the regular Quote button) on every post you want to include, except for the very last one. Then, just click the standard Quote button on that final post you're aiming for.

I'd prefer them kept separate

then just click the regular Quote button on that final post you wanted.

Can I give it another shot?

Is there any chance I could try again?

Could I give it another shot?...

Splitting this up.

For instance, how am I supposed to quote multiple posts at once? 🙄 What exactly is multi-quote, and what's the actual order of operations for using it?

That's pretty much it.

Right next to that "Quote" button, there's an icon for "Multi-quote." Just scroll through the thread and click that icon on every post you want to address. Once you're done, head to the bottom of the page and hit "Post Reply." A window will pop up containing all the posts you selected.

Good luck navigating this mess. 😉

Where am I missing the mark? If you could provide some more specific guidance, I’d appreciate it.

My current process is a bit of a cumbersome workaround—I tend to hit Quote, copy the entire block, strip out the parts I don't need, write my response, then paste the whole thing back in just to prune it again, and repeat the cycle indefinitely.

I need some assistance here... everyone else seems to have this figured out, but I am completely clueless when it comes to this stuff. Could someone please explain how to insert a "quote" when I want to reply to specific parts of someone's post? Please, help!!! 😲

Gregory Ramirez2 said:How do I multi-quote one single post?
Like, if a post is super long, how can I reply to specific parts of it separately?

I've looked everywhere, but I just can't find it.
I even checked here, but I don't have that checkbox for "Wrap tags around selected text."
The last box I see in the bottom right is "Quick reply to this message."
I tried highlighting the specific text I want to quote and clicking that button, but absolutely nothing happens.

Next to that button, I’ve got the "Multiquote" and "Quote" options sitting to the left.

The Multiquote thing works fine when I'm trying to grab multiple different posts, but it won't let me multiquote within a single post.

I actually already got a warning on the forum because I couldn't figure out how to multiquote one post, so I just split it up with dashes instead—and the same moderator who gave me the warning hasn't even replied to my PM about it! I really don't want to rack up any more useless strikes just because of this "glitch." 🤦

Somebody Help me, please? 🕺

Btw I'm using Google Chrome on Windows 8

PS: A few times I've just resorted to copy-pasting the same post over and over, quoting it multiple times, and then manually deleting all the extra stuff I don't need from each block.
But man, that takes forever—it totally kills the mood for quoting and makes it such a chore to respond to those longer posts.

The multi-quote button works perfectly fine when I'm trying to select multiple posts at once, yet for some reason, it completely fails whenever I attempt to multi-quote just a single post.

I’ve already been slapped with a warning on this forum, which honestly seems ridiculous since I was just using dashes to separate posts instead of using the multi-quote feature. To make matters worse, the same moderator hasn't even bothered to answer my question regarding the rule, and frankly, I have no desire to pick up some pointless penalty point over something so trivial. 🤦

The last little box appearing in my bottom right corner just says "Quick replay on this message." I tried highlighting the specific section I wanted to quote and clicking that little box icon, but absolutely nothing happens.

That's how it is.

Besides that little square icon, I also have those boxes sitting right to its left labeled "Multiquote" and "Quote."

Let's try this one more time.

By the way, I'm running Google Chrome on Windows 8.[/I]

Is that really how you see things? 😁
You need to head straight over to the advanced options—it’s located right next to the "Quick Reply" button. Once you click that, a whole suite of editing tools will pop up above the text box. If you aren't sure what a specific tool does, just hover your cursor over the icon and the description should appear.

I don't typically operate this way, and frankly, I'm not a fan of how this looks.

. Then, at the end of that snippet, you put the closing

tag...and right after that, you type your response to that specific section. Then you move on to the next part of their message. So, essentially, you need to wrap the copied segment with those tags at the start and end...I know, it sounds like a massive headache...but just keep practicing...that's how I eventually figured it out myself
