Title: question
Post by wishing4longhair on Jan 27th, 2006 at 8:10pm
I don't know if this is where I come to ask, but I'm asking anyway:
How do I quote more than one past post at once in one reply? I can't figure out how

The only way I know is to do one of the quotes manually.  If you look at how the system creates the quote when you use the quote button, you can use the same technique by typing in the tags [ quote] before the quoted text and [ /quote] at the end.  (I've purposely left spaces so you can see them here.  You can also use the button for putting in the tags - it is the button with the blue arrow pointing right.

Well, that works, but it doesn't label who the quote is from. Is there a way to do that?

Enter the text for who you are quoting, then use the tag [ quote ] at the beginning of what you want to quote.  Of couse you would put the person's name that you are quoting.  Then end the quote with the tag [ /quote].

This is what your last post would like:

It's not a perfect system - but it works well enough to get our ideas across.

Another idea - if you are quoting two different messages, you could open a second browser and click on the quote, then use copy/paste of the code the system puts in and paste it into another response where you quoted the first topic!  

Clear as mud?
