Hello

Anybody shed any light on how to quote more than once when replying to topics please.

i.e. read topic - quote - add smiley / text etc

- then quote again so you have multiple quotes within your response.

Seen it on here a few times but unable to figure it out confused

Unable to offer money or beer as way of a thankyou but all replies welcome.

Many thanks in advance wink

You have to do it manually. I think the latest version of vBulletin has a multi-quote system, but here you have to just copy the text you want and put it inside the quote codes which are [_quote=name_]text goes here[_/quote_] (without the _s).

e.g.

some person said:
something
someone else said:
something else
Just click quote on this post to see.

Wot, like that?

Quote first reply, copy it, then click back, quote next bit, paste the copied stuff in above it and you're laughing.

Edited for godawful grammar.

Or use tabs in FF and just cut and paste.

Much easier.

Firefox - www.getfirefox.com

IE7 also has tabbed browsing.
