"Multi Quote Message"

[DonziJon]

Can anyone Splain the Steps necessary to do this? I've guessed at it a couple of times with no luck. :lookaroun: John

If there is a better way, which there probably is, others please feel free to mock my primitive technique.

I have to open multiple browsers (or tabs in IE7) and go to each message I want to quote, and hit the "Quote" button. I cut the quote it generates in one browser, and then move to another browser and paste it in there with the second quote. And so on for more than 2.

Select the multi quote icon http://www.donzi.net/forums/images/buttons/multiquote_off.gif (bottom right of each post, next to the "quote" icon) on each post you want to quote. They will turn from blue to red. http://www.donzi.net/forums/images/buttons/multiquote_on.gif

Then go to the bottom left of the thread and click http://www.donzi.net/forums/images/buttons/reply.gif... all the quotes you selected (the red ones) will come in...

And all this time I've been using tags.

Thanks guys for the tips. Now I need to find a post where this feature will come in handy before I forget how to do it. I needed to use it on the OLD Political Forum but ran out of time. Maybe I'll just write it down. John

Vette, you can even cut out one more step if you want, at the last post you want to quote, hit the "quote" button, instead of the multi-quote button, and it opens the reply box.
