Obviously I'm not smart enough to figure out how to do a double quote of someone else's post....

If someone has "quoted" and responded to someone else's post, how can you re-quote both of those posts and put yours as the third? Make sense?

Or how do you quote two different posts and respond to them separately in the same (new) post?

Open a new browser page for each of the multiple quotes.

Do the quote function. And then cut and paste the whole thing of each one. Into one page.

At least that’s how I do it. It’s a pain. So I don’t do it much. Especially as I’m typically on my phone.

Just click on the ‘+’ icon to the right of the ‘quite’ button on all posts you want to quote. Click quote on the last one

Crap. So much easier than what I was doing.

Seriously, there has to be a better way.....I want it to show a quote inside of a quote. The way I just did it doesn't show which response is in response to whom....

I don't understand why when you quote a post it doesn't quote the whole thing.

Because if there is a train of thought with several posts linking them together it would make sense to quote them all, not just the last post.

Surely you guys see this on other forums? This is the only forum that I'm a member where that feature is unavailable.

edit: For instance, your post above was in response to my post....I quoted your post and that is all that showed, not my original post that you responded to which is how it is on every other forum I'm on.

But... aren’t you acomplishing this with the multi-quote button? Are you desiring to post both the quote and any responses to it?

I’m still lost so someone who is smarter take over for me... (which narrows it down to everyone else except Jocke

).

DocHorton · 9 August 2018, 08:03 AM

The multi quote button doesn't tell you who responded to whom. It just takes each quote individually.

Maybe I'm not explaining this well, Lol...

I'll post a pic...

DocHorton · 9 August 2018, 08:11 AM

See this picture...each quoted post stays in the string of posts. If I quoted the post "I'm an FFL...." Then all of the previous posts would continue in the string above it because they were all responses to each other. They aren't each split up like they are on here, so you can tell who responded to whom in the string. Or I have the option of only quoting the last post if I wish. Basically, you can "quote all" or just quote the bottom one.

Make sense?

Etschell · 9 August 2018, 08:15 AM

i never double dip the quote. it is quite a faux paus.

This is how it should look...just like in PM's when you respond back and forth it stacks them.

Can this be done easily? On other forums it's a single click....

The problem with doing it that way is no one knows to whom or what those posts were in response to....

Thanks. I never knew that button was there and just had enlarge it to se the +. Old eyes.

Vivalas · 9 August 2018, 08:44 AM

I’m an even bigger idiot - I don’t know how to do it either and still not sure even after reading this.

The only + I can find is in he top right of my iPad which opens another browser . . . . I’m still lost

Look in the bottom right hand corner, you see the “quote” button and right next to it a similar one with quotes and a plus sign + That is the multiple quote button.

Yes, no simple way to quote within a quote that I can see.

Multiple individual quote is easy as explained above.
