Quote it, copy the text, then go back and quote the second. Then paste the first quote.

Thanks illmonkey !

It would be good to be able to "multiple select" posts and have them brought into the reply box without having to go into each one seperatly.

+1, it is rather annoying. The forum does seem to be very far behind some of the leading board developers.

Just tried it and can't get the pasted quote in a shaded box with a author ?
Does that make sense ?

Might be handy, but it's gonna get overused so much that I think it's deliberately made a bit awkward.

I hit "new tab" on each post I want to quote, then open a reply and copy them over, closing each tab as I copy from it. Makes it easier to keep track of what you're doing.

ETA - Yeah, it does make sense, you need to also copy the "quote" tags for it to work!

Click quote, you come up with a "quoted reply" box, copy the text in the white area. Press back on your browser. Click 'quote' on the other text to quote, it'll take you to 'quoted reply' again, but this time with the second quote.

Simply paste the text you copied earlier into the white box. Comment under each one.

Open the quotes in separate tabs to get the formatting and then copy them all into the same reply.

As long as the quoted text has [ quote=NAME] before it and [ /quote] after it you can make any text you want look like a quote

Thanks all, I'll try harder next time.
