Dear @LieutenantToast

Any chance we can get a multi-quote feature on the forum, please?

It's a nice-to-have feature, so if it's possible and you get the time, it would be appreciated! o:)

    Hi there! I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by multi-quote? If you're referring to quoting multiple people/responses within the same reply, you can already do that, like the examples below!

    Absolutely!

    In order to do the above, you just need to make sure that each section/text is within its own quote tags. I'll go ahead and leave this open for now in case I've misunderstood what feature you were looking for!

    Yes, a little :smile:

    What I mean is being able to quote multiple different posts by clicking a multi-quote button for each, and then they show up as multiple quotes in your reply, with each section having their own quote tags. It's basically just automating what is possible to do manually with copy/pasting quotes from different posts into your reply. Like in this short video:

    Edit: Vanilla Forums will have to support the feature already in a setting, possibly through a plugin, in order to do it easily, so unless they have that, I am sure we can make do without :smile:

    Ah! Yes, you can already accomplish this to an extent as well by using the "Quote" button in the bottom left hand corner of any post! If you click on that button on multiple posts, it will add them in sequential order to the existing comment you're writing in the thread :smiley: that way you can quickly quote multiples at once!

    I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything else we can assist with in the meantime!
