Multi-Quote
The much-requested multi-quote feature allows users to tag multiple posts that they wish to respond to by clicking a small button on each post. Once the user clicks the reply button, each tagged post is quoted.

To increase usability, by default, only posts within the current thread are automatically quoted. If you wish to quote posts in other threads with multi-quote, you simply need to click a link on the reply page, and the text of those posts will be added without a reload.

Ok, I still don't get this. Will someone please talk down to me so I can understand? :lol:

I don't see any little boxes to check on the top right of the posts. Could I have something disabled in my user options??? I know that I did it once on accident, but I can't figure it out now. :rolleyes::lol:

I see the multi quote icon to the right of the quote icon at the bottom right hand corner of a post. It has a large quotation mark (") and a +.
