meaning of 'Multi-quote this message'

[Wheekie]

Could someone please explain to me what'Multi-quote this message'means?What's the difference between that & just plain 'Quote'?

The Quote button allows you to quote just one post. If there are several posts you wish to respond to in the thread then use the Multi Quote button.

Click the multi quote in each post you want to quote/reply to when you get to the last post you want to quote hit the regular quote button. A new reply box will appear with all of the quotes from all of the posts you chose.

Then, pare down the quotes so you just have the pertinent information needed and type you replies

I wondered how that worked. Thanks for the tutorial.

Thanks for telling!

Is there a way to easily quote just a sentence or two of a post? I always quote the whole thing then manually go in and delete what I don't want. Surely there is a more time efficient method??

[PiggyPaws]

I don't know - that's what I always do!

[VoodooJoint]

There is no way to automatically quote just a sentence. You either have the push the quote button and quote the whole thing and pare it down or copy and paste the one sentence.

[JarBax]

What about inserting your own text in between lines/paragraphs of someone elses post in a quote? (ie. when several points are answered with the answer beneath each point in the quote.)

[VoodooJoint]

The way I do that is I quote the post. Then I copy/paste the the beginning and ending quote tags --[ quote=VoodooJoint;299362] and [ /quote]-- (without the spaces so it will work of course) and paste it before and after after the single sentence or statement I want to quote. Then I write what I have to say.

The tag line will look like this
[ quote=VoodooJoint;299362]There is no way to automatically quote just a sentence.[ /quote]

Then I write my response.

I do the same for each sentence I want to quote.

In the end it looks like this

That's too bad.

That's a bit more work but it does make the quotes easier to follow and do a click back on.

I never knew how to do that either, so I thought I'd give it a try. Perhaps this could be a sticky?? Since it's very helpful...

Just practising so I don't stuff it up in a normal thread. Cool!
Good feature, all forums should have it.
