Multi-Quote and you (yes, YOU)

[Dowly]

So, I see that only a handful of members use this great feature, instead opting
to quote one person per post and so making 2-3 posts in a chain, which is generally
considered as bad netiquette (a lot of forums hand out warnings and/or bans for double-posting).
But fear not, because I'm such a nice guy, and really, quite awesomelike that(also, humble), here's a very quick tutorial on how to use that blasted thing!

This fellow is the multi-quote button, right next to the quote button, bottom right of a post.

If you want to reply to multiple posts, just hit that sucker on every one of those posts.
You see it turns red, that means it's stored in the HAL9000's memory banks
(totally safe, I promise!(unless your name is Dave)).

(Click it again and it unquotes the post in question.)

So, you've got a bunch of posts multi-quoted, and you are ready to
"pour down hate and discontent like a mother-*" as they say in Generation Kill
on everyone who doesnt share your opinion. What now you ask?
Simple, just hit the Post Reply button and it adds the quoted posts automatically!

Multi-quote in nutshell... ferret style!

:O:

[Sailor Steve]

I use it most of the time. Sometimes I'll find one I missed. When that happens I sometimes get lazy and just quote the one I missed, though these days more and more I'll quote it, edit it and add my comment, then copy the whole thing and use the Edit button to paste it into my original post along with the others.

I do miss the old "quote-within-a-quote" function, but I also understand Neal's reason for removing it. :sunny:

Steve, you are awesome. Always wondered what that button was for but did not to press it in case it launched a NSA cookie to take control of my mind and PC :haha:

I'm also not Dowly.

For which we are both grateful.

Yes, noted my error. Maybe this multi-quote option is not as idiot proof as I thought. :oops:

There can be only one.

And he is Awesome. :up:

Bans for double posting?

[nikimcbee]

If I gave you a ferret snack, would that be enough of a bribe to double post?

I mean, how are we going to close the "Buna post gap?"

oh, here's the whole bag, since this is a triple post.

Nice tip. Thank you kindly. You gained a convert so, not a complete failure. :up:

Don't let McBee wear you down. He always does that. His short-term memory is about as good as the dog he claims to be.

I'm missing something, how again can you hit the MQ option on several post without my reply box opening up on the first MQ.

Hit the MQ button on all the posts you want to quote. Then hit the reply button and your post window will open with all of the selected quotes listed. Reply as needed.

I had that happening for awhile too. Every time I'd hit the MQ button the reply box would open automatically. It stopped doing it at some point and I've been okay since.

Sorry I don't know what I did to stop it; nothing I can think of. I'm hoping yours will heal itself too. :doh:

Yep, that's the problem. I've never been able to get it to work here, but no issues elsewhere.

Guess I should kkep trying it and see if it ever fixes itself, hate not being able to use it.

[Takeda Shingen]

I'm not as close to Dowly as I'd like to be, but the time that I have spent with him has convinced me of this man's greatness. Dowly is smart. He's smarter than I am. In fact, I would never argue against the man because I would lose. Flat out. I mean, come on, the guy's English is better than most of the native speakers around here and that's his third language. He's a product of the greatest educational system in the world, a wonderful mind and a fantastic person.

So, he comes here and offers some legitimate advice and is mocked resoundingly. He may not show it, but I know it bothers him. Dowly is not the simplistic womanizing drunk that you make him out to be. He as been an invaluable member of the community for many years, and deserves better than open mockery. Sure, you all are about to post and tell me that you're all just kidding and not to take it seriously. Bull. You do it every time he posts, and whether he admits it or not, I know it bothers him.

Shame on you.

I have no doubt Dowly is way sharper than I am but you've got to be kidding. That drunk-womanizing-ferret-pseudo-persona is something he actively promotes here, and is one of the lighter sub currents that make this place fun. I wish I could achieve something like that. You appear to have been taking you're serious pills today. :hmm2:

Case in point.

[Buddahaid]

Case in point.

So be it but I think you will find the mockery is all because he is well liked and never intended to be hurtful. You should let him speak for himself in this matter.

Le sigh.

Go read posts No. 11 and 14. Then come back and tell me how he feels. Besides, I have spoken with him. Have you? I know how he feels about this sort of thing.
