Multiple quotes

I know that it's possible, but I can't figure out how to do it:

How do you insert multiple quotations (from different posts) into a single post?

Click the quotation+ icon in the far right corner of all of the posts that you want to quote, then hit the reply to thread.

I take it you are referring to the icon in the Red Box? If so what do you do after you 'click on it'? :thinking:

Again test

I have several observations about "multi-quotes":

1. There appears to be a limit of five (5). That is, if you activate the "multi-quote" icon on five messages, then attempt to do the same for a sixth, two things happen:
   
   • your "still-fetal" message "miscarries" -- as if you had selected "Reply With Quote" mode; and
   • you are unable to add more quotes.
2. If you activate the "multi-quote" icon on one-or-more messages, but move to another message without deactivating the "multi-quote" icons, if you then "Reply With Quote" to a new message, vBulletin attempts to include those "multi-quotes" in the new reply! (but never succeeds -- it just "spins its wheels" and no reply is ever generated)

Takeaways:

1. Regarding #1, thanks to the more-than-five SRP members who wished me "Happy Birthday" -- I couldn't include everyone's words in a more-fitting reply, so please accept this one.
2. Regarding #2, cover your tracks! :)
