Is there a way the respond to multiple quotes within a post? For example, quote someone's response and respond to that followed by quoting another person's quote and responding to that - all within 1 post. I could have sworn there was a way to do this but I can't figure it out and I could locate any instructions on the site.

I could have sworn there was a way to do this but I can't figure it out and I could locate any instructions on the site. Some forums have a multi-quote button but on Proboards forums, as far as I know, there's no easy way to do it. What I do is right-click the quote button in the first post you want to quote, and open it in a new tab or new browser window. Then, go back to the original tab or browser window and navigate to the next post you want to quote. Hit the quote button then copy-paste the result into the new tab or window that you previously opened (which already has your first quote in it). Then, you can respond to them both in the same post. It's messy, but you can get used to it. Has anyone got a better method? Dave |

Well, I figured it out, but I kept quiet in the hope that there was a better way.

Yes, Dave, that's the way I do it too.. I don't think there's an easier way, but for sure, there's a harder one, xD... Which is writing the quote tag yourself, with the right parameters and all this... Reminds me too much of the messy things I have to do on the university... Definately NOT recommended.
