How to qoute multiple posters

[AdamZ]

How do I put qoutes from different posters in the same thread in my reply?

You need to copy and paste the quotes manually, and then wrap them in QUOTE tags.

There *are* hacks available that allow you to select multiple posts and include them in your reply, but I haven't gotten around to applying them yet. (And I haven't had time yet to start work on the new 3.5 PoA beta site... hopefully later this week - can't do jack from work these days - too busy - so it all has to be on my time)

You can even nest quotes by doing:

[ quote=jsmith ]

 I don't like it.

   [ quote = jdoe ]

       I didn't ask your opinion.

   [ /quote ]

[ /quote ]

Remove the spaces around the []'s to get it to work.

Adam,

I find the easiest way is to click the Quote command button for the first person you want to quote. Once the text of that email is in your reply box use the copy function to copy the entire message. The exit out of that window. Go to the second message you want to quote from. Click the Quote command button. When the text for that reply appears use the paste function to add the original quote you want.

It is actually easier done than said which is not often the case as most everything is easier to say than do.

Sometimes some of my PMs look like that...a gazillion boxes in boxes.
