Click on the blue post reply button at the bottom left of the page - right above the Quick Reply button. Delete all the words you don't want to use and leave the rest. Then add your comments! Voila! I hope this helps!

Ok, I get how to multi-quote different posts. But how do you multi-quote one post? Like, say you want to quote more than one part of someone's post? And would this work as well if you wanted to quote just parts of various other peoples posts? Does that make sense?

I am probably the last one to answer this - I am learning too! LOL BUT, I think you just use the quote button, click on the Post reply button, and then just delete the parts you don't want. That is how I do it anyhow - have tried to drag and drop etc, but this is the only way I can do it. If someone knows how to do this better, please let me know too!

I thought I was stupid too trying to figure this out.

I think I am beginning to understand.

Another forum I post on has a thread that serves no purpose other than to provide a place for people to give stuff like this a trial run. Might be useful to have here, although C-D automatically does some stuff with links that you put in a post that cleans up the code and makes them a lot neater, so it might not be as important here if the program automatically takes care of a lot of things like that. I never try any complicated posting, so I don't know whether such a thread could be useful here or not.
