Thanks QUOTE (Choose/the/light @ Mar 7 2008, 07:59 PM) I have no idea. Where are the mods and admins when you need em? Like this... Actually, not sure how it's really properly done... this is a quote, edit, copy and paste... basically you can quote anything by putting [q u o t e] and [/ q u o t e] around it... no spaces, of course. Is there a way to do multiple posts without editing, cutting and pasting??? Edited March 8, 2008 by rushbass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Owl Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Cutting and pasting is easy, what is hard is quoting more than one person in a single post. I have no clue how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostGirl Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 You hit reply to the first post you want to include, then type your post. Don't hit "add reply" but click "preview post." Your quote and your post show up. Copy and paste all that text into Notepad, etc. then just go back to the thread WITHOUT posting that reply. Repeat on each post you want included, then add them all to your text file. Finally, reply to the thread, and paste in all the quotes you've collected. That's the only way I know how to do it.

rickyrob Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I copy the text and use the 'quote' button above, but in Firefox, which is what I use at home, it doesn't work so well. I have to insert the / in the last bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely Space Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Ah, now I see. I was manually hitting quote and copying text in "add reply." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
