How to Multi-Quote?

[yvan]

I noticed that a facility exists to answer a post by quoting part of that post rather than quoting the entire quote and I would like to find out how to do this but couldn't get an answer in the FAQ's

Cheers,

Hit reply with quote and then edit out what you don't want.

If you want to break in and respond in the middle of the quoted text them insert "/QUOTE" (inside square brackets - that means "end quote") and write your response.
If I put the square brackets in the computer will treat it as a real quote action.

Then to resume the quoted test insert "QUOTE" - again inside square brackets.

Make sure you leave th original QUOTE (again inside square brackets) at the start of their text
In your case it was QUOTE=yvan;2282111 (again inside square brackets)

eg (NB all the QUOTEs and /QUOTEs are inside square brackets
QUOTE
Their text
/QUOTE
Your text
QUOTE
More of their text
/QUOTE
More of your text

All the quoted text will end up displayed inside a box in Italics.
You should check to make sure you have inserted all the quotes and /quotes correctly otherwise your text and their text will get mixed up.

I too would like to understand this, perhaps a two day weekend workshop at a nice coastal holiday resort could be arranged for the instruction of the process involved? I reckon that’s how long it would take me to learn and remember it.

Prefer the back end of the week myself; less crowds/tourists/annoying children and it keeps the weekend free

Obviously we would need to have an extra day or two at the end for the slower members; by having the workshop at the back end of the week the slower learners could use the weekend to catch up.

Chief Tiff,

I appreciate you latching on the week-end at the end of the workshop. Count me in !!!

Dont you have a nice house on a river, that would suffice

I'm trying to get my head around what Bob has told us
