vBulletin has a nifty 'multiquote' button that makes it easy and fast to quote from several other posts in one reply post. There may be a modification allowing you to do the same on the phpBB platform, but if there is, it is not implemented in this forum. Yet. (hint, hint) Meanwhile, I use pretty much the same method that Tattuchu employs. It is slower and more cumbersome, but it does the job.tattuchu wrote:My way might be a retarded way, but I do it like this:
I open two Firefox tabs with Rationalia on each and hit "quote" to reply to one of the posts I want to reply to. Then I go to the other tab and hit "quote" to reply to the other post I want to reply to. Then I just copy and paste from the second tab to the first tab. When I've done this successfully, I just close the second tab. So I then have two quotes in one post, and I reply to each. If I want to quote more than one post, then after I copy and paste from the second tab, I hit "back" and copy and paste the quote from another, and do that as many times as I like.
This way there's no messing around rearranging tabs.
It's just a matter of clicking on the multiquote button of every post you want to quote from, then clicking on <Reply>. I can't think of a more straightforward method to quote from several other posts than that.Gawdzilla Sama wrote:I've never figured out Vbulletin's multiquote function.
Another thing I like about vBulletin is that clicking on the quotes automatically takes you to the post where it was lifted from. Some time ago administrators tried to mod this forum to do the same thing, but messed it up. It is possible to do, though. At Rational Skepticism that function works flawlessly.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Meh. What's with the straying quote tags, the disarranged quotes and the gibberish that are presumably meant to link to the original post? Does the template I'm using (subsilver2) need some cleaning up?

I think the trick is to manually locate the cursor at the end of each quoted post by clicking there just outside the quote tag, then hit return to move it down a line, then hit the next quote button, repeat.

Re: Hi from Cupper
Unlike RS, we have the Subsilver theme available to our members, and the linkback mod doesn't work with that theme. Also, the mod is no longer supported by the developer who created it, so any software update could theoretically cripple it permenantly. As it makes changes to every post that contains a quote, and stores those changes in the DB, it is not uninstallable. If we every needed to remove it, it would permenantly fuck up ever post on the forum that contained a quote.Hermit wrote:Another thing I like about vBulletin is that clicking on the quotes automatically takes you to the post where it was lifted from.

Works for me.

PS - cupper, there is a URL tag button in the header of the post dialogue window. Google BBcode to see how to work it different ways.
