Quoting several posts
Discussion
From time to time when responding to a post I'd like to quote several previous posts.
Other, clever, people seem to be able to do that, but once I hit quote I don't see how I can get back to quote someone else within my response.......if that makes sense. Makes me feel like an amateur when I have to do another reply straight away.
Am I, perchance, being nice but dim?

Quotes are nothing magical, they are just a formatting code like adding bold text, or an image. As well as quoting you above I can create a second quote (that does not have to actually exist) just by typing in the below codes (quote me to see)Other, clever, people seem to be able to do that, but once I hit quote I don't see how I can get back to quote someone else within my response.......if that makes sense.

This is a made up quote.
The upshot of this is that if you want to quote several people in one post, just open them in separate tabs and then copy and paste them all into the same box. (like the one below I have copied and pasted from This Thread in Website Feedback)TheEnd said:

I've just noticed in a 33 pager that when clicking to jump pages, you can actually edit the highlighted number and hit return to jump to the specified page!
