Often times I find myself in a discussion where I want to respond to a number of different posts made by different members. Opening the thread with a "quote" identifies the poster to which I am responding, but subsequent "quotes" doesn't do that. I'm wondering if it would be possible to incorporate a feature that would automatically identify who the poster was that you're quoting the way it does when you open a reply with a quote. Alternatively, is there some sort of HTML code I can add to do that? It might cut down on some confusion at times.

Mike wrote this up awhile back: Help with the [ quote ][/quote] tags. That should cover most of it.

It is a bit tricky, so feel free to practice in this thread if you'd like.

We anticipate some changes to the quote feature with the next upgrade. It will make quoting multiple members, not only within a thread but across multiple threads, much easier.

Hope that helps smile.gif

Hi.

We will have a slick new "multi-quote" feature implemented very soon.

Each individual post will have a Quote+ button next to it.

You'll be able to browse the forum, clicking the Quote+ button for each post you would like to cite in your next post.

Then, when you next click the "Add Reply" button, all of the posts you selected will appear in the post box, formatted and fully cited to the original author.

It's going to be great. smile.gif
