You can put as many as you like - just put QUOTE in square brackets at the beginning and /QUOTE in square brackets at the end :

Hmmm... I usually just hit quote on the first post, then highlight and copy, then hit the back button on my browser, hit quote on the 2nd post I want to quote and paste the first one in above or below it... but I suppose your way works to.

That's actually how I do it too, I just opted for the option that required less typing from me.

What if you want to quote 3 or 4 points from various places in a long thread? :hmm:

I don't do much typing anyway - so, you have the first one anyway - then you can just copy and paste that below the original, then copy and paste the required quotes from the topic review, in place of the first quote. Copy the person's name from the Topic review and put it in the place of the first person's name - repeat ad infinitum!

Of course - knowing how the Quotes in square brackets thing works - allows you to play about.........:D

If Im quoting form multiple pages in a thread I like to right click on the reply feature at the bottom of a post and open it in a new page and then copy and paste like that.

I do think using the [*quote*] [*/quote*] code is convienient though.
