Quote Multiple Posts/Selections has been added to the forum. From now on you can quote a selected text. With the old way you had to delete parts that you dont wanna use in the quote.
Here's how it works:
Using MultiQuotes
Step 1: Use your mouse to select the part of the post you want to quote then click the Add Quote link at the bottom of that post. You can also just click the Add Quote link without selecting anything to quote the entire post. You'll know the quote has been added when Add Quote changes to Remove quote[1]
*the number in the square brackets is the count of how many quotes you have made for that particular post.
step 2: If you selected part of the post before clicking the Add Quote link then a new link named Add another Quote reveals itself allowing you to make another selection and add another quote.
If you didn't make a selection (you quoted the entire post) then you will see only the Remove Quote[1] link.
step 3: You can jump around the site collecting quotes from different threads using the methods in step 1 and step 2 above.
step 4: Once you're ready to make a post (reply, modify, new thread, whatever) you'll see at the bottom of the page where you normally type, two links. One says View Summary and the other says View Quotes. Click the View Quotes link to see a list of all the quotes you've collected. Next to each quote will be a button you can click to insert the quote into the area where you type. Once you use a quote it will be automatically erased unless you uncheck the checkbox next to the button.
Tested bug report: Sometimes it doubles a specific quote, dont mind, simply ignore it when you ad them to the post window.
If you have some trouble then please post the problem here.
Happy posting!
