How do I use Multi-Quote?

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.

If you need to cite several different posts at once, here’s how you handle it: just hit the Multi-quote button for every message you want to include, except for the very last one you're aiming for.

Testing, testing... one, two, three. Is this thing actually on?

When you hit that specific button, it turns red. That’s just its way of letting you know the post has been flagged for a multi-quote.

Well, here we go...

To wrap things up, you just hit the Quote button on that final post. That’s all there is to it. You'll end up with exactly the specific posts you wanted cited.

Did it work? 🤣

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!!! 😲

Good grief, what a mess 😳 😳
Still tinkering with this! This should be it, hopefully.

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.

Once you reach a certain age, everything just seems to get so much more complicated.

It’s pretty straightforward; it isn't exactly rocket science.

No, that simply wouldn't work. To what end? Where exactly am I missing the mark? If you could provide some more detailed guidance, I’d appreciate it. And why exactly is that the case? My process is a bit more convoluted than most—I tend to quote the entire block, strip away the parts that don't serve my point, provide my response, and then repeat the cycle by pasting the full quote again only to prune it once more.

It’s stalling, and we’re nearly at the finish line...

Here is how I’m approaching this (I’ll provide as much detail as possible), From the very beginning....):
To quote a post, you simply hit the Quote button to trigger the quoted block; then, highlight the specific section of text you intend to address and click the icon—that little speech bubble symbol—to finalize your comment. Wrap Quote the designated portion of the text should be enclosed within quote tags at both the beginning and the end Wrap QuoteI will append my commentary following that Wrap Quote at the end; I’ll highlight the second section once more; add the icon again; and then follow up with another comment right after the quote.

It seems my formatting has gone completely sideways; everything—from my own commentary down to those smaller nested quotes—is getting swallowed up by one massive, oversized quote block at the end of the post. It makes sense, I suppose, given that my own remarks are nested within the primary quote block... wouldn't you agree?
I feel as though I am missing a crucial step in my process, or perhaps there is a fundamental flaw in my approach that remains stubbornly out of reach, yet despite my efforts, the error eludes everyone's perception.🤷
Everyone keeps telling me the same thing: highlight the text, hit the icon, leave a comment. So, I follow the instructions to the letter, but when you look at the actual results... well, the outcome speaks for itself.
Something isn't quite clicking, so I would appreciate it if someone with a bit of patience could take a look at my task list and help me pinpoint exactly where my logic is faltering.🙂

Testing this out! I think I'm actually going to lose my mind here!😢😢Why won't the system let me send a test message just to see if I've finally figured out how this works?[/I]

Help!
