I am not the best writer, and my mind is working way a head of my typing, so I may not respond as clearly as needed.
Usually... as I have found it to be, there would be two buttons for Quotes, one that is the usual quoting of what was posted and then there is the Multi-Quote Button (MQB) ! If you want to quote more than one person all you need to do it hit the MQB for each post except the last one, the last one you hit the Quote Button and you go to the Reply Screen and there are the quoted posts with spacing in-between each quote.Next step is to enter what you want in response to each post.
Say I posted a statement that got responses from four people.If I wanted to respond to the four in the same response posting all I need to do is hit the MQB for three of them and the Quote Button for the last one. From there the system takes over and a Reply Screen appears and all of the Quotes are in there separated and ready for responses.
Again, I was thinking about space on the Site's Server, by using one Reply Screen I would think you could save storage space, could be wrong, I am not a computer wizard ! Anything to save space on the Server.
I get around it by Quoting a post - #1, post it, then quote another, #2, but when this one comes up in the reply screen I copy "All" of #2, and go back an edit the first one, #1, and paste the quote from #2 in #1. Now I have one post with two replies in it. PITA... so I went back to responding to each post individually.
Sorry for the confusion, The other Site FRF, has this method, if you need it, I will go back there and find one of the Multi-Quote Posts I have made and get the link so you can see it !AND on the other hand you can just tell me to Buck-Up and post separate quotes for each response.
Thanks for reading my BS Ideas and please understand I am only thinking out loud !
p.s. If only this SPACING thing would get fixed, it might help people understand where I am coming from. All the SPACES and RETURNS disappear and all of the text is lumped together !Last edited on Sat Jan 20th, 2018 11:49 am by Scrambler82
