Quoting multiple posts?
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.

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....

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
*Edit* .. when are we going 4.06 tall chap ?

willk's right. Next planned move is to IPBoard if I can work out a migration strategy that doesn't involve any of you lot having a coronary
As Polwart says, multiple posting is a feature that I have chosen not to use on RIBnet. It's an extra bit of clutter and complication that would only be useful in a relatively small proportion of posts, and would lead to people quoting even more unnecessary stuff. At least people who can manage to use one of the various workarounds to multiple quote, can also generally manage to trim the irrelevant bits!

You'd THINK that, but I positively thrive on Irrelevance..

mmmn yes .. my myocardial infarction has been and gone.. but I feel better for it .... thankfully my board is only in its infancy though. But even so a migration from phpBB3 was still a pig
Some of the developers that left VB are doing there own thang with Xenforo I believe, and lots are waiting for that instead of going to IPB which has really only come to the fore due to the stagnation of VB IMHO, but Internet Brands who bought VB have picked up the baton now since they've realised the extent of the problem and are working hard to reinstate their dominance .. dunno where it will go but .. what ever you do it will be a big change. That said I liked a couple of IPB's I used to use, and it definately gets a thumbs up from me
What I prefer with VB is the cross platform support thats up and coming which can be integrated with other content on web sites, plus linking to other platforms such as facebook etc .. dont know where IPB is with that ?
