Right here.
Yeah, put :

quote and /quote (in brackets) before and after the people's stuff you want to quote. This particular forum doesn't have the multiquote feature enabled for whatever reason. They don't seem fit to do much anyting nice for users here.

Yeah, must have.

Marc, I thought someone said you moderated somewhere, if we are so under par for your liking why are you here?

When did I ever say that? I like it here okay anyhow. It's just personally frustrating to see a site that is otherwise top-notch so behind the curve on the software end. The site still gets slow by the way.

Well please explain this "They don't seem fit to do much anyting nice for users here." statement.

Mike Holt provides these forums for free and if they don't have all the bells and whistles that you may think is necessary it surely doesn't mean there is "nothing nice" for the users does it?


If you will offer to pick up the tab for the site you might be able to get Mike to agree to some new options.

We all know the site gets slow and yes, it is frustrating, it is being addressed

BTW, I realize that you posted late last night and it may have been a simple case of PWI.

Bob,

I did a search using "quote" and "multiple quote" on the FAQ's. There was a 0 result.

Yes that is true, there was no specific information for multiple quotes but there was certainly information how to quote.

Interesting guess, but as I've said several times in the past, I don't drink and never have. I hold my body in higher regard than most of the moderators seem to.

Don't four quotes make a gallon? :grin:

You're probably right; they don't care about your body as much as you do.

I think you can do it by nesting the quote and end quote like Marc started but didn't finish. You end up with a double end quote. For what it is worth, I never liked nested quotes. :smile:

I believe that it was Bob, but it might have been Charlie that told me:

Hit the quote button and post your answer. Then highlight it all and right click your mouse and cut it. Then use the back button and go to the next post you want to quote and hit the quote key, post your response and then space down and right click your mouse and paste then hit submit.

I hope that makes sense.

I think Marc's a stud, at least he looks like it by his picture.:D
