I will answer you here, it is easier than in email.

As an addition: It is all about the QUOTE tags: Anything between [ QUOTE=virginiawang;744711] and [/QUOTE ] will end up as a quote, like this:

I forgot to say that I disabled the quote tags above by insering an extra space in them. Otherwise they would have created another quote.

This post is just to begin my attempt to explain the http://www.online-literature.com/forums/images/buttons/multiquote_off.gif buttons that Logos mentioned in the first reply to the OP.

-------------------------------------------------

I will next make another post using the http://www.online-literature.com/forums/images/buttons/multiquote_off.gif buttons (they are located next to the standard QUOTE buttons).
I will begin by clicking on http://www.online-literature.com/forums/images/buttons/multiquote_off.gif for each post in this thread, just as an example. As I click each one, the http://www.online-literature.com/forums/images/buttons/multiquote_off.gif button will turn orange.

After doing that, I will click the http://www.online-literature.com/forums/images/buttons/reply.gif button (not the QUOTE button), and I will have a window to type in, and that window will contain all of the
that I had selected by choosing http://www.online-literature.com/forums/images/buttons/multiquote_off.gif.

There, now I can cut, paste, and move them around.

ALSO, just to clarify something else: if you want to get more than one quote from the same post (for example, you wish to respond to several points made by someone in a previous post), then I think you will have two slightly inconvenient options. At least, these are the two ways that I do it.

Either:
1) you could use the standard QUOTE button, and then Copy and Paste the entire quoted section into your reply multiple times. Then you would have to delete all of the text you aren't quoting for each one, leaving just the text of the particular quotes.

OR

2) use the standard QUOTE button, and then delete all the parts you won't use in the quoted section, thereby leaving only the various parts you want to quote.
Then, copy the beginning quote tag ( e.g. [ QUOTE=virginiawang;744711] ) and paste a copy of it at the beginning of each section that you want to quote. THEN copy the ending quote tag ( which will always be: [/QUOTE ] ) and paste that at the end of each section.

The idea in each of these two techniques is that we just want to get those ugly tags with the brackets placed before and after any text that we want to show as a quote.

Now I know how to make multiple quotes in a post. Thank you, Billl.

[billl]

whoa, you certainly did. no problem!

multiple quotes from the same post is actually more time-consuming (post number 8, above)

[ClaesGefvenberg]

Well done, billl. A top rate explanation, that. :thumbs_up

[billl]

Thanks! I had the good fortune of being able to take what you and logos did, and repackaging it. I was extra-careful, because it had originally taken a while for me to figure it out.

I don't know how to quote multiple members in the same post. I'm somewhat technologically handicapped and would appreciate a quick run-down. I'm sure its easy, I just can't figure it out.

Here you go!

I was pretty sure this came up ages ago--sure enough, I was able to track it down. Surprised at how long ago it was...

Got it! Its so easy. Thanks a lot Bill. This will save me from making multiple posts in a row.

[billl]

Sure no problem!

I know, after using the regular QUOTE button for a while, the multi-quote, with its rather different implementation (uses POST REPLY button...) seems like such a surprising and "too good to be true" feature.
