    It's called multi quoting, perhaps? How does one do it?

    I hope I have understood your question correctly.

    At the foot of the post there is a Quote button. Beside it there is another button with " + on it.

    The one with the "+ is the multiquote.

    Click it on each post you want to quote.

    When you have clicked it on all of the posts you want to quote (I think it turns orange to show you it's been clicked, btw)... go to the bottom of the page and click the Post Reply button.

    It think it will bring up all of your selected posts in a Reply, but don't quote me on it. :-D

    If you'll just highlight what you want , but start from the right and sweep to the left , that's what you want to do ...

    Maks the one that told me about it , , , but she's bashful , you know , sort of shy , in fact ...

    Yep , just sweep the mouse counter clockwise and that'll do 'er , 3 out of 7 times . . .

    :-D...maybe there is a better way and if there is, whomever knows it please post it.

    Quote a post and look at it in the reply panel before you actually post it, the word "quote" appears in brackets before and after the text. The second quote has a forward slash / in front of the word quote, to close it. I can't type it here to show you how it looks, as it will disappear and become quoted text.

    A catch all, to quote anything copy and paste it into your reply and then type the word quote in square brackets before and after the text... remember to put the slash into the second one [/quote] or it won't work. This can be pasted within another quote.

    Or you can multiquote it and then cut and paste it into the other quote. This is better because the quote and close quote are entered for you and the name of the post author is also there.

    If it doesn't make sense, keep asking. It helps other people also.
