Quoting multiple posts?

[martini]

Is there an easy way to quote more than one post or posts from different members in a single reply?

I usually fumble my way past most computer related problems but cant find a way to do this without typing out all the brackets and post numbers etc etc.

Any help please?

The function exists in vBulletin (its an extra icon that appears beside "quote" at the bottom right) but the big yin doesn't like it so has it disabled.

So how do most people go about it? I've seen it being done here lots of times

Hmmm, turn your back for a minute round here...

Well, obviously it's just turbo cut'n'paste. To keep it simples, start with oldest post, Quote and edit it, copy the result (control A and then C). The use the page back button in your browser to return to the thread. Quote the next post, and paste (Control V) your saved stuff in at the start, continue editing that post (creatively, if you're Mollers).

Repeat as required.

Right that's that, so then Martini, what's Income Tax?

You'd need to have an income first, but given the amount of time you must spend copy-back-paste-forward-etc that seems unlikely....

I generally try to avoid having an Income...

Bugger that .. just open several ribnet windows on a topic , start your reply on the first one then go to quote all the others you want to make a point on, and copy paste into your actual reply and fill the post with Mollers type drivel .. all wisywg stuff no DOS required
