Just found a nice facility to be able to quote multiple posts in a reply. Others may already be aware of it but just in case .... Using the option button against a post (the cog like button) the drop down menu gives the option to select postChoose that & repeat for the posts you want to quote in your reply. The select is carried over the pages of a multi page thread  If you accidently chose the wrong post just click on the option again & it will now allow deslect Finally click on quote on the last post to be included & as usual the reply box will open but this time all the posts will be separately quoted. It will then be possible to insert your comments as you wish or even edit the quotes to leave just the relevant bits. I wish that had been possible on the old forum. I used to spent a fair amount of time cpying posts & inserting the quoting code around them when replying to a number of posts in a thread! |

Mind you it needs to be used with caution otherwise posts could be quite large! I often edit quoted posts to leave just the bits I'm responding to, so long as it doesn't affect the meaning of that post.

I know, I wouldn't quote lots and leave them big, I was just seeing if it worked. |
