How to quote more than one person?

Dormouse

This is probably a stupid question to all of you (and one with an obvious answer!) but I still haven't figured out how to quote more than one post when replying to a thread?

I've seen people do this but my little brain can't work it out all by itself! Pls help...

Glad

you need more than one window open and in your second window click quote then copy and paste it into the reply box in your first window

Not as easy as quoting one person

If you are set to standard or enhanced reply box, you should see above the reply box.

copy the text from the poster into the reply box. highlight it, then click that symbol

the text that was highlighted will not have

in front of it and [ /quote] after it.

and the result will be like this:

stuff in a box

if you want to, you can also write =username into the first bracket

e.g:
highlight:

write stuff

then click makes it

write stuff

and you change it to:

[ QUOTE=anyones name ]write stuff

result:

anyones_name wrote:

write stuff

But there's no names just the [ ] and [/] ??

I see

I think I prefer the two window thing.

I knew about just quoting with no names but sometimes it would be easier to have the names as well.

You have to put "=" between Quote and the name

e.g. Quote=sra

no spaces!

Think that worked. Now I just have to remember how to do it!

It's the two windows thing. Must remember to use more than one quote too!
