Multi-Quote

[Perseus]

How do you actually use multi-quote? When I try it, all it does is make the bar yellow on the multi(I'm using Black and gold layout). How do you actually use it, or is just click that then go to quote?

[nick]

You click on multi-quote for all except the last quote that you want to include, then click on quote for the last one. Try that.

[Perseus]

I'm sorry, Nick, but I'm still confused.
Wait, waht I am talking about is multi-quoting one person.

[AutumnDae]

I do it a bit differently actually...

I click Multi Quote on all posts that I want to quote, then hit "Post reply"

That's exactly what I do. :)

You mean like this?

Huh bro?

[Perseus]

Yes, like that...

[Aηdy]

Yes, like that...

Just copy the quote marks like so:

Original:
Yes, like that...First part:
Yes, Yes,

Second part:
like that...like that...

So copy the whole quote and delete as required.

[Commander Thor]

Yes, like that...

Ahh.

Simply add a [/ quote] onto the end of the first section you want.

Then to start up the quote again, use [ quote].


[ quote ]
First quote
[ /quote ]
Comment on first quote

[ quote ]
Second quote
[ /quote ]
Comment on second quote

Would produce

First quote
Comment on first quote
Second quote
Comment on second quote.


If you wish to retain the 'posted by...', and the link back to the post, simply copy the bit in the opening quote (With the equal sign), and paste that in when you open a new quote.

[ quote =DaTrooper00;577067 ]
A quoted post linking back to you
[ /quote ]

Would produce:
A quoted post linking back to you


Anything else you need to know?

[Perseus]

Ah..., I thought it would just at the click of a button. Lol..
I just don't want to go through so much trouble to break down someone's post.
thanks to all that helped.

[Commander Thor]

Nah.
You have to do it manually. (Un-fortunately. :p )

Oh, I see now. I thought he wanted to know how to multiquote. Thats what that link is for.

As for doing it of one person, just highlight the text and press the quote button at the top of the text box. Thats frequently how I do it.
