Multi-quoting multiple messages

@Moderators. I cannot find how to multi-quote so have replied to each member separately. If there is a way to multi-quote, I'd be highly obliged to know. Thanks.

Select the text you want to reply to, and the reply option will appear. It took a while for me to figure this out.

Thanks. The internet is a strange place for us oldies. I only recently built a music streamer but the old habit of going to my CD rack and pulling out a CD still lingers. I don't know how to switch to streaming. Using my phone for anything other than phone calls is not normal.

Start with Spotify, super easy to navigate and explore the various Playlist; you will become accustomed to it after a while.

I forget to reach for my mobile. I always just walk up to the CD rack. Usually, the mobile is in another room. Most people know to reach me on my landline if they need to talk. In my office and home, we normally use landlines. Mobiles are useful when traveling though.

I just did it for you, merging all your replies in one.

For future: click on "Reply" button on the post that you want to reply. Delete unwanted content and leave the content you want to highlight.

Make your post and press enter.

Repeat this with every post that you want to reply.

After you have replied to all the posts that you wanted to reply, click "Post reply"

That's kinda convoluted and not intuitive.

Is there a way to just click on "quote" for X number of posts and then "post reply" on the last post you want to quote and voila you get all the posts you want to quote? I have seen some other forums use this interface.

Click on "Reply" for all posts you want to reply to and when you're done with that, type your response under each quoted post.

The simplest method I find is;

(1) Just reply to a post as usual by clicking the "Reply" link under the post.
(2) Before hitting "Post reply", go over the rest of the posts, and keep repeating the step 1.

As long as you keep clicking "Reply" under a post (without submitting the reply with "Post reply"), it will keep getting added to the reply box at the bottom of the page, at the insertion point (blinking bar).

Not really. Just need to try.

Sure, you can do that. In fact, you don't need to quote the part of post that you want to reply. Just click the reply button and the whole post would be quoted. But quoting multiple posts and replying at the end would make sense only if those posts are similar in content. Else it will appear out of context. Isn't it?

Anyways, if you prefix @ before the forum handle, that particular FM to whom you're addressing would be hyperlinked and he would get an alert (with a red dot on the bell icon on the top) when he logs in next.

The earlier forum format had "multi-quote" option. This new format is a bit different and more versatile I must say. If you've noticed, I've split your post, highlighting only the content that needs to be replied to just by clicking 'enter'.

Exactly. I think I've complicated it by asking to quote only the content that is being replied to.
