I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
First off,
YES I did search (a lot) and re-read the FAQ's but can't find the answer. (i'm sure the answer is there somewhere, just can't find it)

Q: How do place multiple quotes in a single post?

I can only do one quote at a time. I've tried holding shift + quote, nothing. Tried control + quote, not! What am I doing wrong?

thanks,
smogg
 
Holy carp!! And to think that all these years I was just manually copying and pasting each time I wanted to multi-quote.


sh... I'm going to multi-quoting like a demon now! Mwahahah

I generally left click on the quote button > open in new tab, and then cut and paste into one reply box.
I know there is a multi-quote function, Im just accustomed to my ways.

Click the "+ button (to the right of the quote button) in the bottom right of each post you want to quote. Then, click the post reply button. Each quote you've tagged will show up in the reply box.

Hmm, simplicity trumps custom in action, folks!

It's easy as learning Japanese!

Aka multi quote of doom thread!!!

I simply click on people's posts with the quote button and make a separate tab, and then one by one I cut and paste into my "dialogue" tab which is the one that gets posted.

This is going get ridiculous pretty quickly...



...Oops. Too late.

I'm actually curious to figure out what the limit might be...

I usually memorize all the posts I want to quote and retype them as I am replying.

It's a tidal wave!!!!!!!!

Oh yes, we have created a monster!.
Thanks all for playing
:D

Well, twelves not the limit...

René_Julien;12832469 said:
And... will it work when you have posts spanning over more pages to multi-quote?

LMAO,
guess we are going to have to let this run its coarse now, eh?

Not sure, the experiment is up and running :)

Yup, sixteen so far.

Sandpaper is coarse.

I like the multi-quote button then I hit "quote" on the last post.

Hey, I just noticed...the quotes are laid out in the order in which you click the multi-quote button. Neato!

Dont bother! At this point your error, and its correction, will be displayed in the infinite time loop that is this thread.

May as well let it be!

Man, this can go forever
 
LMAO
OK title changed to "Multiple Quotes"
We have learned that the multi Q will carry over to a next page.
We also learned the quotes will appear in the order they are selected.
And, it is probable that this feature could be infinite thus creating a time loop.

Knowledge is a dangerous thing and science can be scary. :bassist:

I can't figure it out either, maybe because I'm always on my IPhone, can't remember if I've tried to multi quote on the laptop.

Either way I can't figure it out and it sucks.

the backwards post just made me spit beer out my nose...lol, (damn I hate wasting beer) :bawl:

So are you trying to reverse the time loop? Wish you NASA guys would chime in, we could use your help (please). :D

Now I'm just lazy, but still curious. #36 I think
 
To make this really fun...how about this.

You can multi quote from other threads into whatever thread you want too.

OK,
how's this for scary?
Went to bed last night and this thread was in "Off Topic." Wake up today and the thread now resides in the "Customer Service/Forum Usage Issues" section. There most definitely must be a tear in the fabric of space/time as I was unaware of this part of the TB universe. Makes one consider what other wonders are here that have been over looked.
Let the quest for knowledge continue. :D
