Discussion
Apologies if this has been discussed before but a search didn't reveal anything.
Is there a way a Multi Quote type of system can be available in PH please? At the moment we'e got the 'Quote' and 'Quote all' features but i think a lot of people would find it useful to select specific posts and quote them all, as apposed to just the quotes in one particular box/post. i.e - You could click 'Multiquote' in more than one post and then click 'Reply to Topic' as normal and all the quotes would then be present in the reply window.
At the moment i open multiple tabs in my browser window to open different posts and then copy and paste them all into a reply (where needed), but having used the multi quote system on another forum recently i've found it really useful when replying to threads etc.
Just a thought...

I fail to see how that could technically work, outside of the 2 extreme options of 1 or all.
Hope that helps.
Plus if it was technically possible, I'm not sure it would be worth the time, resource and investment to implement a feature that would be used little; particularly when there's a million other features to be implemented

Maybe i didn't explain myself very well............. Hope that helps.

However, thank you for your opinion. Even with my technical knowledge i know this could quite easily be implemented, however i will agree it may well be "a feature that would be used little" irrespective of what other features may or may not be planned in the future so that's fine.

No mechanics in the pipeline that I'm aware for this to be implemented.
Thank you for that. S. Gonzales Esq. said:
Click 'Quote'
Select all
Copy
Go back one page
Click 'Quote' on second post
Paste
On a related note, I'm impressed with the way the new system has reduced the previous unreadable mess of nested quotes. A good idea, well implemented.
As per my original post, i know how to use multi quotes, I was just enquiring whether the guys at PH would have any plans to introduce a new feature on the main screen so you didn't have to go copying and pasting multiple posts etc everytime. Select all
Copy
Go back one page
Click 'Quote' on second post
Paste

I'm liking the less cluttered forums since the new system was introduced, and anything that discourages people from quoting complete posts is fine by me.
hear hear+1
^^^^ wot he says
And all those other supportive type comments
Removing all those nested quotes used to be a HUGE PITA
My wish would be that you could click on the name of the person who is being quoted and that would take you back to their quote. As works on many other forums.
Often people are quoted without any context and I sometimes feel it necessary to look back and see their post, which is a right pain in a long thread!
