Forum Tip: Multi-Quoting

[Jay Christopherson]

One of the handy features of this forum software is the ability to multi-quote other posts - for example, maybe you are following a thread and there are three or 4 replies that you'd like to respond to.

What you can do, is hit "reply" to a someone's post (which brings up the reply box with the quoted text in it), and then scroll back up and hit reply to someone else's post. As many as you like. Each time you hit reply, it adds another block of quoted text to the reply-in-process.

Handy if you don't want to have to post multiple-replies to different posts. You can quote and reply to them all in a single post.

Huh. And here I just did it the old-school way with copy-n-paste and manually adding the open/close tags in the appropriate places. What will they think of next?
