Sometimes I'd like to quote multiple people in one thread but address each point separately. Is this what multiquote does or is it for something else? At the moment I copy paste and self-insert the username in the quote tag which is (1) annoying as **** and (2) annoying as ****.

So yes, I'm simple. Someone care to explain?
 
Click multi on the quotes you wish to quote, then "quote" on the final one, and it will take you to the reply screen with all of the quotes ready separately tagged.
 
Click it for every post you want to quote and then either click post reply or on the last post you want to quote, click quote.

All of the quotes will then be in your post for you.

EDIT - damn you Jez!
 
yea you click multi quote on the posts you one (then normal quote on the last) and it will put them all in your post.

up to 4 iirc.

Right, so I click the multi+ on the actual posts I want to respond to? That's really quite clever (also, I'm not apparently).

Thank you, chaps, appreciate it.

Thanks from me too, and to the OP :)
 
It'll carry them over too so you can read several pages clicking multi quote on posts and then when you've got to the end/next page they'll all be there still :)

Yes, the only difference is you have to click 'post reply', rather than use the quick reply box.

Simples.

Well I never.

I have always re-opened the thread in another tab and copied and pasted over. :o
