    Default Is there a shortcut to including multiple quotes in a post?

    If I want to include additional quotes in a reply I have been opening another page, copying a quote then pasting it in the original reply. Seems laborious. And sometimes it does not work properly.

    Any easy alternative?

    ps. I bet it's something real obvious.

    Look to the right of the quote button. *multi quote not quick reply of course*
    Click that button on each post you want to quote.
    Then click the quote button.

    If you are wanting to include quotes from multiple posts, then on each post you want to quote from click the button with the " on it, then on the final post you want to quote, click the Quote button.

    If you want to quote from one post, but break up the text in multiple quotes, use the button on the (Advanced) Edit Menu the third from the end, the # button.

    BTW, I have moved this thread to Forum Help as it not specific to Metalwork, it has forum wide application and should be of interest to all forum users.

    Default A response from your resident Luddite.

    You need to cut me some slack boys, I knew it would be something pretty basic. Just remember I draw with a pencil on paper, not AutoCad.

    Change is inevitable, growth is optional.
