When I quote multiple posts, I just click the Quote and Reply Button on the first one and then copy and paste it and go back to the next post I want to quote and paste the first one in that reply so they are both there. Not sure if their is an easier way though.

All you have to do is click on the "Quote" box for each post you want to quote (it'll change in color to a solid green). Then after selecting all the posts you want to quote, just hit "Add Reply" and it'll automatically populate. And then you can type your reply under each quote if you wish, or all together...however you want to do it. Also, I always click on "preview post" to check to see if everything looks right.

Awesome, thanks man! I tried doing that a couple times but I didn't know you had to hit the button at the bottom. When I tried it I just hit the reply button next to one of the quote box.

Let it be said...those who post an inordinate amount of multi posting are creating a hardship on it's readers. There are times when the amount of multi postings are deleted, just to save the confusion to our readers.

To quote a single user in response to that question / answer, is quite acceptable but when 4 or 5 guys are dominating a topic, they begin to quote themselves. And those are the "multi quotes" that may be in question / deleted.

"Quote Responsibly" ^-^

Thank You

It is more in vein of saving space by responding to multiple comments in one post vs. having to make multiple posts in response to multiple comments.
