Multi Quote

[bartman (Bart)]

I've been on this site for a fair while but cant seem to work out the 'multi quote' option......
Duh.....
Please could somebody give me instructions?
I've had a look in the T&C etc... maybe missed it or not in the right area.....
Thanks

Hi Bart
Very easy - just click the "+" on each post you want to multi-quote, well, all but the LAST one.

Then on the LAST post you want to multi-quote, hit the normal "QUOTE" button.

Then you'll be taken to the post page where you'll get a list of your multi-quotes and you can add between them etc.

Cheers

Thank you Mike.....
So it is just a matter of deleting the bits you dont want?

To multi-quote a single post like above you just copy/paste the end quote code: the bit that has a [ followed by a / and the word QUOTE and ending with a ], and put it at the end of what you want to quote in the 1st bit, then copy/paste the 'QUOTE=name' bit in brackets and place it where you want to start the next section.

You can copy/paste the start quote and end quote codes as often as you want.
Or type them in if you can type fast. I'm a 1 finger typist so I copy/paste

Looks like this image attachment when all text is entered:

You know I never knew how to do that either. Thanks for asking and everyone else thanks for answering...

That will do the trick!
Thanks to all the other repliers too!
