Tutorial on multi-quoting
Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2015 5:39 pm
Alright, class! Today, I'm going to teach you how to multi-quote in a post on this forum! Multi-quoting is when you put one or more quotes into your post. 
First, take a look at a this post:
Notice in the bottom-right part of your post, there's the "Edit" button, "Quote" button, a button with only a yellow quote bubble, and a button with a blue pencil on it called the "Quick reply" button.
That button with the yellow quote bubble is the "Multi-Quote" button. Click on it, and it will highlight that button.
When you go to another member's post, you can click and highlight that button on their post as well. You can even even do this between different threads on the forum!
In order to finally put all of those quotes into one post, click the "Quote" button on the last member's quote you want to include in your post.
You'll then be taken to the advanced reply page (normally accessible by clicking "Go Advanced" in the Quick Reply box). Notice that all of the quotes I've clicked the Multi-Quote button on are included in this post.
Make sure to space apart each quote before typing your reply to each quote. If you wish to put multiple quotes in your post and reply to more than one quote at a time, type after the quotes you wish to reply to.
If you want to see how your post looks before you submit it to the forum, click "Preview Post".
Once you've finally got everything how you want it in your post, click "Submit Reply"!
One last thing: if you decide not to multi-quote those members' posts in your own post, make sure to click on the multi-quote buttons again to change them back to blue. Otherwise, you'll have unnecessary quotes from random threads in your post!
