Or you can just do it in this thread.

Well...you can use the "Preview Post" function to test each post to make sure you r BBcode is correct.

Or you can just do it in this thread. Ask forgiveness, not permission. That is the way i usually go. Like i tell my kids and employees on minor issues: i don't see nothing you ain't pointing out (yeah, i like the triple negative...brings out the redneck in me).

Then I go to the next post and hit the quote button there.

If you do the CNTR A and CNTR C you'll have all the text you've written in your computer buffer. You then just use the mouse and navigate your way to the next post or another thread. To go back to the thread, just hit your back button in the upper left.

yup, this is how you do it.

I run multiple tabs. i will right click on "quote" and then select "open in new tab". Then i can copy the text in that quoted box out of that tab. i can do this with as many tabs as i want.

this forum has no "multi quote" function, like you would see on other bbs. And it makes you jump through hoops to share media (they are afraid of the long arm of the tyrannical law around here, apparently). But there are always trade offs. And the access you gain to the minds that come through ATS have made all the hoops worth jumping through for me.
