Quotesanother forum i am at have this feature where you can put quotes from more than 1 post in to a reply. it can come in very handy if you need to quote more than one thing in your post and saves a lot of trouble to have the multiquotefunction.
another thing with quotes that forum has is a button in the quoted text that takes you back to the post quoted when clicked. good to have if you want to see that post and posts around it 
maybe these things arent supported by this forum platform and perhaps not open for brian or harry to change either since i guess this is kind of a skin we are using for this forum.
but if you can change it... please at least think of it  i guess more than me would appreciate this.
thanks for listening

I don't think our system works in that way, but it easy to quote more than one person.
When replying you can use the quote button above the message window;
Double click to bring up the codes [qoute] [/qoute]
Insert your quote in the middle
[qoute] blah blah blah[/qoute]
To add the name of the person you are citing. Break into the first and add their name with ="name".
[qoute="Know-nuffin"]
Note# I have misspelled 'quote' otherwise you would not see it.
I use several short cuts to do this if I need to.
I use Ctrl+N. This shortcut opens a new window. To quote form the new window, either Ctrl+A to select all or highlight a section (left click and move the cursor) then Ctrl+C to copy. Go back to the reply message and Ctrl+V to paste.
erm.... clear as mud

that's about it muratore so you need to follow KN's example right now.
all of these forum program have different benefits. generally the one we use is great but as with all of these things you have to pay more for some of the added funky stuff. as we grow, it should be possible to add your request.
i've been wanting to send the newsletter out with .html code (so it looks like a web page) for some time now but it's the same kind of problem.
...........we'll get there eventually !
