Multi-Quote

[Sailor Steve]

How does the Multi-Quote function work? In the old days if we quoted a post that had a quote in it, both were quoted together. With Multi-Quote I get the two posts in sequence, and if I do it wrong the wrong one is on top and I have to move them around. I don't get it.

The Multi-Quote thing quotes multiple posts, not one inside the other.

For example, if I were to Multi-Quote this and the OP, I'd get:

Supposed to help when one is replying to multiple posts. I think quoting quotes within quotes was cut because posts eventually got ridiculously long (Most forums do it, too).

It seems to be that you click the multi quote button for the posts you want to quote.

If you press it, the + changes to a - on the button, indicating that the post has been selected for multi quote.


I've never really used it but it was something I noticed when I clicked it.

Someone else may have a better explanation. :)

You can change the order in which each quote is arranged according to the sequence you click on them.

That's what I was getting, and thought I might be doing it wrong.

Good point, and most likely correct. Sometimes I miss it though.

Thanks all! :sunny:

I really do not miss the pyramid quoting. That thing would make threads nearly impossible to read.

I like toast.

EDIT: OMG when did I pass 4000 posts? I missed a chance to start a totally pointless thread filled with spam and amusing displays of e-peen. :wah:

Oh wait. I'm pretty sure it was somewhere between not getting any work done yesterday, and not getting any work done the day before that. :yeah:

You could be somewhere in the region of 6k by the time you reach your first anniversary here :sunny:

Was thinking something like that too... better get ready to defend that record. :hmmm:

Frau K is averaging 5730 PPY (Posts Per Year).

Jim is averaging 11,300 PPY. She's gonna have to work a lot harder to even keep up, much less actually catch him.

I, on the other hand, am averaging 2570 PPY. She should catch me in about ten years.

[Arclight]

I stand corrected. :haha:

You're lucky though, I'll have lost my lead by the end of the month. :cry:

I wonder if either of us will still be around to witness this earth shattering event? http://bestsmileys.com/handicap/1.gif

As long as it doesn't happen during a Matlock marathon, I think you'll be okay.

If we're not, I reckon it'll happen a lot sooner.

But I'm a wiz at asking for help, i.e. the calculator who lives on my desk. :D

The calculator only does the math. The person pushing the buttons still has to know which math to make it do. I'm just' sayin'. :up:

I've read that the true definition of an expert is the one who knows where to look it up.

My basic math skills are good enough, and I understand some of the concepts, but anything advanced, i.e. trigonometry, leaves me quietly sobbing.

Oddly enough trig and analytic geometry was where math really got interesting for me. That and the algebra I had right before that.

And don't even get me started on calculus. I loved it.

Of course now I open the textbook and it all looks like heiroglyphics left behind by some cruel and vindictive alien race. :O:

And known now primarly as the favorite show of Grandpa Simpson (http://www.tvacres.com/char_matlock_ben2.htm) and many of Springfield's other old people. :O:

On the FOX animated sitcom THE SIMPSONS, Grampa Abe Simpson (a retired cranberry silo night watchman), loves Matlock. Why? because "He puts young people behind bars (where they belong)" Grampa once said. "I'm an old man. I hate everything but 'Matlock'. Oooh! It's on now."

Yeah, in America it's the 'old person' TV drama. It plays at 4 pm here, which is close enough to bed time for a good portion of it's audience.

Irrelevant in this case because I was never a fan. On the other hand a lot of people don't know that, like many sitcom stars, Andy Griffith started out as a standup comic:

That's a bumma...it wouldn't play beyond 45 seconds :-?

Sorry to hear that. There should be links on that page to other versions. It was quite funny back in 1953.
