Night Owls

Rroff · 28 Jan 2020 at 04:55

I work some nights and generally my sleeping is all over the place - not an insomniac but my sleeping pattern gets thrown out easily.

i cant figure out this multi quote thing

yeah i worked 12 hour night shifts in the past
but really suited me as definitely like this picture lol

You can click the "+ Multi" button then when you are ready to post select the ones you want from the "Insert Quotes..." button that comes up bottom right. I usually just highlight and click quote on the first one then cut that to the clipboard, do the same on the next one but instead of copy/cutting it just paste in the other quote and post then edit the post if I want to do more than 2 quote LOL bit long winded but just seems to work for me.

You click multi on every message you want to quote and then click insert quotes.

You click multi quote on each one then 'insert Quotes' under the text box for entering a message.

Like so...

For some reason I do it the longer way - not sure why it just seems to flow better when I'm multi-tasking oddly.

I usually forget the option exists and just reply to each message individually.

probably all asleep lol

Mostly if I can't sleep I end up browsing random stuff on YouTube though sometimes backfires especially if I find something interesting and end up being more awake.

i do that a lot one thing catches my eye and go off on a tangent

If I want to sleep I just put on a pc game I really want to play and I find myself nodding off at my desk.

Where did my life go so wrong

Let them moan they're just trying to bump their post count lol.

I find it makes it a little easier to follow the replies as the wrong use of multi quote can conflate something and you then get people replying to a misunderstanding.
