Quoting

Post by Steelballz » 31 Mar 2009 01:07 pm

it might just be me being new enough to the site, but there isn't a multi-quote button..?

I use other forum's and most of them have it, very handy IMO and might be worth getting..?

Just CTRL+click the quotes to open them in other tabs, then cut+paste them in, that's all I do.

Vbulletin is much much cleverer than phpbb2 was, I havn't had a look to see if we can add multiquote to phpbb3. I'll talk to Aymat about it if I see him on MSN, theres a fair few things need to be tidied up since we've migrated to phpbb3 :(

On the plus side, the Volvo community has a phpbb dev in it, so I can have a chat there too ;)

You already can :D you just have to do it a different way. When you press "Post Reply" it displays a review of the topic below, then you simply press quote post on as many posts as you like :)
