Soooo sorry to post something that's probably been asked a thousand times already...but I dare anyone to stop reading this right now and do a search on "quote." EVERY thread with a quote in it comes up. :001_huh:


Therefore, I'll just ask this and hope that y'all will be patient with the simple child and pat me on the head and help a sister out:


How do I do multiple quotes in a post? :bigear:

Click that little quote icon in the bottom righthand corner -- the one that looks like a quotation mark. It will turn orange (on my Safari browser at least).

When you've click on all the posts you want to quote, hit the quote button.

You'll have a reply box full of quotes that you can cut and paste to arrange appropriately.

Hopefully you'll get a bunch of replies here so you can play with it. That's what happened before.

I need help with this too, so I hope you don't mind me joining in...

Ok, I clicked the quote icon...and it did turn orange...but then what? EXACTLY what? If I click on a post to quote it, THAT post will there, quoted, but how do I get to OTHER posts to quote them?

Okay, I turned my post's quotation mark orange by clicking on the icon, then I did the same thing to yours, then hit the blue quote button in your quote (I probably didn't need to do both in your quote, but I was on a role).

This is what I got:

Does that help? Give it a try -- really, that's how I learned, by messing around. Also, remember that you can Preview Post to see if it's turning out how you expected.
