How do I include Multiple Quotes in Reply Posts ?

Lancashire Lad · #1 (**permalink**) 14-10-2008, 05:18 PM

I reply using the "quote" button when wanting to insert a quote from part of a previous post.

But can't seem to find the right way of inserting quotes from two or three separate posts. (i.e. so that these separate quotes all appear in grey box-outs).

Tried just copying & pasting from other posts but this results in normal text preceded by [quote], but not in a greyed out box.

Not a big problem, but the greyed out boxes make it easier for the reader to differentiate between what is and isn't a quote.

All replies will be appreciated.

Thanks
Mike.

Click on the tab next to 'quote' (called multi-quote,the one with speech marks),on however many posts you want to quote from, so the tab highlights, then click 'post reply'

Thanks very much for your reply. This has been bugging me for a while.
(I've tried the multi-quote in this reply to check that I've got it right).

Best regards
Mike.

Edit - Yey, It actually works too.

Well I never knew that! I've always opened different windows with each quote in and then pasted them into one post, this ways definately better!
