Multi-quoting

Gilly · 1 May 2008 at 09:08

I am testing this today. Please let me know your thoughts on it, there is likely to be a trial period where if it isn't abused we'll look to keep it if feedback is favourable.

I think multi quoting would be good as long as it isn't overused/abused. Looking forward to being able to use it in the trial period

For the slower amongst us how do you do it other than manually? I've just had a quick look and can't see anything particularly obvious.

Can't say that I'm overly bothered either way, but I guess more functionality is good.

Is this why we now have html tags "< p>" in the advanced reply box

I know it says that HTML code is off, but try using < p> tags. It works. (or just edit a reply)

i cant see how to do it either :confused:

It would be handy, I always remember people like CBS knocking up his post count by quoting every person in a new post. That really peeves me off

Booner! · 1 May 2008 at 09:33

So how do we do it? cause I just had to quote 6 people in a thread and would have benefited from it... alternative way was to right click quote *open in new tab* and then flick between them and cutting the text!

Was not even half an hour since the thread was created, maybe the feature has not been implemented yet?

I saw a multi quote button next to the quote box late last night/early morning. Presuming it'll pop up again at some point.

whats so special about multi quoting

is it just what im doing but saving you the extra CTRL + C and CTRL + V ?

J1234 · 1 May 2008 at 09:36

Yeah.

Nestled quoting was tested last night.

paradigm · 1 May 2008 at 09:37

Where have I said Multi-Quoting is special? I just want to know why editing replies is rather messed up if you are using punctuation, as it all gets replaced with stuff like:

Code:

&nbsp  
 &amp

and nest quotes within quotes.

Click to expand...

Click to expand...

Click to expand...

or just quote multiple people

Click to expand...

within one quote

Click to expand...

platypus · 1 May 2008 at 09:49

Which is actually often harder to read.

willhub · 1 May 2008 at 09:50

I thought this multi quote option was to quote post like MrLOL and Spend day have done?
