How do you quote more than one person in one post?

[colorful]

I've seen other people do this, on occasion. Quote one person, respond to it. Quote another, respond to it, and on and on, all in one post. But I can't figure out how to do it, unless I just copy and paste and then add my own Quote brackets around it.

You have to add the quote tags yourself. You can either do it like this...

[ quote] whatever you want to quote [ /quote]

Or like this (if you want it to include their name)...

[ quote=Michael] whatever you want to quote [ /quote]

Obviously you would need to remove the spaces.

Yep. Do a copy/paste and then add the quote tags to the front and the back (after of course you've quoted the first person).

I think that that is it. Possibly using a text editor (like Notepad) to paste to and then copy from might help. And/or you could scroll down below the Edit Box down to where the messages are repeated in reverse order, and copy and paste from there.

As Michael said, except you can also use the Edit Box icons above (farthest one to the right is "Wrap [ QUOTE ] tags around selected text.") Then do a little editing of the tags yourself, if you want.

Like MsRuthieB says. :D

I sometimes open multiple windows so I can have the thread open to copy and paste from (or click the Quote button, copy/paste, then the back button), and an add reply window.

I remember the day in the compost heap when one post took up most of a page . . . then I did it on another board the was none to debate friendly . . . almost got booted . . . hehehe . . .

Arrrr, I've always wondered how to do that :)
