How to multi quote a single post

to multi quote just look for the small graphic of a quotation mark and a plus sign. its in the lower right hand corner. near where it says REPLY WITH QUOTE. check all the replies you want to quote but the last reply you want to quote you need to check the REPLY WITH QUOTE link. so if u want to multi quote 4 people you will check 3 of the quote mark in the lower right and the last one you click on the REPLY WITH QUOTE link and you will see in the reply box the 4 quotes you want to reply to. comprende?

No not multiquote several people. i figured that one out.

Multiquoting several phrases or sentences from a single post.

like twostrokenut did on post 18 of this thread.

So do I have to type in all of the individual brackets and type quote before and after each target phrase?

That seems like a pita

Or is there a feature I am missing?

  • like ill right hand click "reply with quote" and click open new tab​


Ok this makes sense

  • than ill scroll to the reply bar​


yup


  • ill copy and paste each quote im replying to while adding my response does that make sensre?​

Edit: well I like the look of the way twostrokenuts quotes turned out better but This works too I guess.

This is what I do it can be a bit of a pita.....i am going to quote your post 24 joe.

First thing I would do is make (type)one tag set and copy that to notepad....copying to notepad will not copy all those bullets like the other post when you just copy and paste on rui......like this without the space after the first bracket[:

[ quote=joe macclennan] [ /quote]

Then I will just copy/paste a bunch of these on top of each other.............

[ quote=joe macclennan] [ /quote]
[ quote=joe macclennan] [ /quote]
[ quote=joe macclennan] [ /quote]
[ quote=joe macclennan] [ /quote]

Then I will copy right off your post, line by line as I choose....each thing you copy between a set of tags will be a seperate quote........do this on notepad to save from those bullets popping up....

[ quote=joe macclennan] Thanks for the link gorgeous. That helps. [ /quote]

[ quote=joe macclennan]I hate the search feature here. [ /quote]

[ quote=joe macclennan] Sorry for making you do all the "heavy lifting"[ /quote]

[ quote=joe macclennan] [ /quote]

I have to put the spaces in to show this but when you remove the spaces in front of the front bracket[ for both in each set joe it looks like this after I copy it all from notepad and paste into the riu reply box:

Notice the last set of tags that was not used doesn't show up....that's cool I just learned something:)

You can misquote on purpose too like this, again with the extra space:

[ quote=Fenian Brotherhood] I am totally not helping at all.[ /quote]

With the spaces removed:
i know youre trying ot help but i think youre making it MORE complicated which is why hes not getting it.
you use a lot of coding when its already in place for you as you stated its a PITA.
all you have to do is click reply with quote copy and paste it, than reply.
the same way you would do it the same way i did it above. i can do multiquotes in a matter of seconds yours takes so much effort.
ontop of that the way you do yours users cannot click the blue button beside the quote allowing the user to be directed to where the quote originally took place.
Oh and BTW misquotes like above are usually deleted. dont do that.

Step 1
right hand click reply with quote the first quote you want to reply and click "open in new tab"
STEP 2:
now you will have an "advanced" open screen, keep this open!
STEP 3:
Right hand click reply with quote on the 2nd quote you want and click open in new tab
STEP 4:
copy and paste this quote , (by either highlighting the words and right hand clicking and clicking copy or click contrl c)
STEP 5.
paste the second, third and whatever many quotes you want back into the FIRST advanced box from step 2
STEP 6.
Reply if you have not to the quotes already and click submit reply

you can only multi quote posts on the same page by clicking next to the reply with quote the symbol that says "Multi-Quote" for first and sequential, for last post you would like to quote along with all others click reply with quote

he needs step by step instructions he obviously is having a hard time after 5 pages, he doesnt get it. thats why ive done it accordingly. not everyone is super crazy computer literate. everyone learns differently hopefully the photos will get it.
