    How do I combine my similar themed posts into one?

    Hmm, not sure what you mean, but if you want to merge several posts into one, you can't really, unless you just copy them all in one new post.

    Thats what I assumed but thought maybe there was a different approach.

    No worries, may be one day you will grow up to become forum admin and then you could do tricks like that
    But fireman definitely sounds more fun, or jedi

    I post a reply in the first post, leave that window open and open another window. This takes me to the SAME post at the point of composing the reply. I then hit the Back button, which takes me to the forum page I was at before hitting the Reply button to post the first reply. I then browse the forum, and when I find ANOTHER post I want to reply to, I hit the Reply button, compose the reply, select it, cut it (Ctrl+X), Cancel posting the reply, go to the FIRST reply window, and paste it (Ctrl+V). I continue doing this until I no longer find a bunch of posts I want to reply to. This keeps the forum nice and neat. Of course, sometimes in my haste I forget and then go back and combine them later, essentially using the same method, but in a long winded way.

    I think maybe this is what you're asking, if not, and you actually want to combine various posts, again, it's pretty similar. You'll find a 'Delete Post' option to delete the post after it's been posted. However, I don't think you can delete a post if it's been replied to or possible after a certain time has passed, I can't remember off the top of my head....

    Carlmaloschneider - If you're not familiar with the multi-quote button, you might find that easier... It is the one in the lower-right (next to reply with quote). Click that on every post you want to quote (including the last one) and then click the "reply with quote" on the last one.


    The ability to delete a post goes away after time.
