EDIT: If your using the new theme and firefox, it may not work for you. I can no longer multi-quote. If I want to, I need to open a new window and hit quote, cut, then past the test from each post. Its a real PITA.

That is my situation. I use Firefox and the button doesn't work for me so I never bother with the cut and paste. Damn Microsoft applications.

For each post that you want to quote, click the second icon from the left. It's the one to the right of the quote icon. It has " marks on it.

Then, after you have clicked that button for each post you want to quote click the regular quote button to go to the regular reply to thread window. Your quotes should be there!!!

So much for theory.

I can confirm that. I'll test drive the site with a new Firefox profile, but in the meantime, Opera works. Bit of a shame.

Negative. I'm on OpenBSD currently. It must be some setting or add-on that gets in the way, because:

This is a clean Firefox profile (my own is heavily modified with, amongst others, lots of add-ons). Firefox 3.0 FWIW, because the newer versions do not support some add-ons I need.

Bummer.

It is a Javascript issue, and therefore platform independent.

I use firefox almost exclusively, and it comes up for me just fine. If it's not working for you, you probably have javascript disabled.

I also use Firefox (ver 2.0) on Linux. As an experiment, I disabled JavaScript and indeed multiquote stopped working.

Further, re-enabling JavaScript did not re-enable multiquote until I refreshed the page. My point being that if the OP's problem was indeed a disabled JavaScript an attempt to fix things may not appear to work.

EDIT: A JavaScript TIP! Did you ever try to download an image and get a pop-up instead that says the image is protected from download? Well, that is a JavaScript implementation and disabling JavaScript will allow the download. There are other cases where a web page attempts to (over) control your browsing experience and disabling JavaScript will usually put things back to normal.
