If you want to quote a person in a previous post to a topic you can use the Reply button that is between Edit and Multi Quote.

If you want to paste in some text as a quote in your reply paste your text, then select it and clickPosted Image.

thanks, one more thing, I can't figure out how the multi quote works, I click on it and it turn's green on the post's I multi quoted and when I go preview after hitting the reply from one of them I only see one quote.

When you are using Multi Quote do not use the Reply button, instead near the bottom of the page hit the Add Reply button Posted Image.

I haven't figured out what MultiQuote means or does.

If you want to quote several posts at the same time:

  • click "multiquote" on each post you wish to quote.
  • then click "Add Reply"
  • all the quotes will appear in the Reply Box, and you can start typing your responses.
