Multi Quotes

[Neverender]

Yeah, maybe i'm just stunned, but how do multi quotes work?

You can quote multiple posts very easily by using multi-quotes. Simply click the multi-quote button on each post that you want quoted, except for the last quoted post, just click the quote button.

I never knew about Ben's way but I just click MultiQuote on each post I want and then click Post Reply. However it seems as if the other method is faster, less mouse moving.

i tried clicking the multi quote and then post reply, and it just showed the text box as it would if I didn't quote anyone.

Works fine for me.

And that (IMO) is the best way :P

Well you can always just copy and paste what you want to quote in your reply.

Just make sure that you use the correct coding for it. [, then the word quote, ] the words you want to quote followed by [ / quote ]

The key here is to make sure that there are no spaces in between the brackets and the word quote. It is quite easy to do if you know how to do any coding at all. You can also copy and paste the coding.

Well good luck.

And to show who its by [ quote=Nick ] blah blah blah your normal blah blah [ /quote ]

but see that's not what you're supposed to do. You do not click "post reply". You click multiquote on all of the posts you want to quote except for the last one, and then on the last post, you click the regular "Quote" button.

Sometimes this doesn't work if your cookies or internet settings don't allow it. I don't know how to fix it but this is just a heads up.

Try not pressing "post reply" and instead following what Kiros said word for word.

I have the vBulletin coding pretty down pat already, but that method is what i'm stuck doing for right now, and I've been doing it since I joined. Thats why in most posts where i quote more then 1 person i have to quote 1 person, post it, then go quote someone else, copy and paste and then edit my old post.

And to show who its by [ quote=Nick ] blah blah blah your normal blah blah [ /quote ]


Yeah, i already knew that. Sometimes you might see me quote something like this:

This is not in my guide ;)

or

I just overthrew Ben! :evil2:

My way works just dandy!

And umm yea, I dont like to do it manually because I like the links in the quuotes.

If the multi-quote and quote features are not working properly then it's something to do with your local computer. There's a 95% chance that it's simply your web browser. I recommend installing a new web browser (Opera, Firefox, or Chrome) so that you know that it's up-to-date and the settings should be at a good default.

After you get a new browser, come back and check by using that browser.

JW...
I was quoting something earlier that contained quotes but it didnt work. Ok this is confusing, so ill try my best to explain.
ACTUAL THING:
Blah Blah
This is wrong! Blah blah!
Blah Blah
OMG Your so dumb!

but when I quoted it this is what I got **Pay attention to who posted it and the content**

Different Blah Blah
This is wrong! Blah blah! [same info]
Different Blah Blah
OMG Your so dumb! [same info]
**My Message**

If it doesnt make sense just forget it... Not a big deal :P

[Kiros]

From what I can gather, you quoted someone's post in which they quoted someone twice, but it switched out their quoted names for someone else's?

I don't get the "[same info]" bits, but if that's it, then it may have just been a random error based on how your computer interpreted their post and how it sent it to vBulletin.
