So what I do is I copy and paste the beginning brackets opening, and the ending quote brackets to the part, or parts, of the quote I want.

1. Click on the " marks to the right of the quote button. 2. Do the same on the other post you want to quote. (You can do more that two if you want) 3. Those you clicked should now have a red background added. 4. Now go back to the first post (last entered) and click the quote button. 5. Your message box should now show with the posts you .clicked the " button and made red. You can experiment a little to get the hang of it by trying and using the preview button to check the results. I've been using the same software that's used for this forum on another forum for a few years and until this thread I never knew how to do this either.

You're talking about listing two distinct posters quotes at the head of your new post so that you may reply to both at once. Right? I didn't know how to do this either, and I thank you, but it wasn't what i was asking about.

2. Edit the quoted text (within QUOTE tags) by deleting the text you don't want and leave what you do want. Be careful not to delete any of the brackets "[" or "]" of the tags in the quoted text or it won't be correctly placed in a quote box. That's all there is to it.

It is good to see this old thread appear again because maybe it can help somebody else like it helped me. And now, lots of things are getting cleared up here. That's wonderful. I know how it feels to not be able to figure something out about posting.
Even though my problem was not the same as the one in the original post, I asked another question and learned that the answer had been staring me in the face the entire time -- not surprising -- I am kinda like that. Last fall, in Post #7, mak44070 answered my question with concise and perfect instructions. Mak led me out of the woods where I had been stumbling around for longer than I want to think about, trying to find my way to the wonders of grabbing more than one quote at a time, complete with their blue backgrounds. Thanks again, mak. Boomer the Oblivious |

[QUOTE=skyguy79;341495]Try doing this:
1. Click on the " marks to the right of the quote button. 2. Do the same on the other post you want to quote. (You can do more that two if you want) 3. Those you clicked should now have a red background added. 4. Now go back to the first post (last entered) and click the quote button. 5. Your message box should now show with the posts you .clicked the " button and made red. You can experiment a little to get the hang of it by trying and using the preview button to check the results. I wondered how does one do multiple quotes and the mystery has been made crystal clear. Thanks skyguy79. |

Note that the directives in brackets are commands that become invisible once your message is posted... unless of course they are, by error or omission, not properly opened at the beginning and closed at the end of the quote.

Tony, do you have any other little tricks up your sleeve?

Many times our "tech support" would reply, "What do you want to know?" And I just said, "DUH, I don't know what I don't know, so I don't know what to tell you I don't know!! Bottom line, we learn from each other asking questions.
