Quotes - How to multiples

no1catman

I've seen some replies, whether rather than one quote followed by the answer, then there may be a quote from one post and reply, followed by a quote from another post and reply.
Or, a partial quote and reply from one thread, followed by another section of the same post and reply, and again section and reply.


Without wishing to appear 'thick' - how is this done. It's just that my perception is if you hit the 'quote' button you'll have a new box, I wouldn't imagine it would go onto one in process that hasn't been submitted!?

If you want to post replies to multiple posts you can select them by clicking the multi quote button . This button will change to indicate that you've selected it. Clicking post reply will then bring you to the full editor with all the posts quoted.

And how do you get 68490209 and 68478892 ?
Is it not simpler just to click and then like explained above - so that everything is done automatically? Then add your comments.

If you did mean using the buttons, not typing/copying everything manually, I don't see what you tried to add to the post #2, but this might be just me...

All the info seems to apply to the 'old look' - can you explain how to multi-quote with pictures of the new-look buttons?

The new look button is this



Should be at the bottom of each post on a desktop or laptop, or perhaps available by clicking the + icon if you are on a mobile/tablet type view.
