Is it just me or does this button not work for other people? I can't 'multi-quote' when I reply as when I click on quote it opens the reply screen, and I cant highlight text and click the 'quote selected text' button to add that to the reply as well. Any ideas?

It makes it harder for the conspiracy theorist faction on the forum to do a line-by-line breakdown of your posts.

The forum also hates nested quotes. If you try to do too many, it'll flat refuse to post them.

There's nothing like the exchange of PBPQRs though to signal when it's time to abandon thread. It's pretty much bloody trench-warfare by that stage, grinding the opponent down via attrition.

I was actually going to make a thread about this though. Being able to select text then hit quote would make it much easier when not using a mouse. Takes ages to post from tablet or phone when have to hold down backspace for ages to trim out the irrelevant bit of a long post.

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 9 years, 150 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
