Is a quote multiple feature feasible?

Post by Dirty Dan » Thu Oct 15, 2009 1:48 am

The only thing I've missed from other forums I've been on is a "quote multiple" feature, for easily quoting from multiple posts. It's usually done with a little box you can check in each post, and then you click the normal quote button and it takes quotes from multiple posts. I know that you can do it manually with copy and pasting, it's just tedious. If the feature was there, I'd use it in nearly every thread.

Just pointing it out, not a huge deal or anything. I'm not sure if it's possible or not or how time consuming it would be to change, but I just thought I'd mention it. That's my only gripe, the website is otherwise great, so thanks Dog & whoever else maintains it.

But you still can't do it across multiple pages.
