Is this possible to add? It's tedious having to separately reply to each poster or having to manually cut/paste quote's.
The way I usually see it on forums is you just press a PLUS button and it adds the quote code for that post to your quick reply and/or reply.

Re: Multi-quote feature
Agreed. This would be helpful.
I'd also encourage people to trim quotes so they're only including parts needed to understand their replies, otherwise you can end up with an unreadable mess.
@SeanHerbison is good at multiquotes and trimming.

Re: Multi-quote feature
There is already a multiquote feature, but it's pretty limited. Can only go back a certain number of posts so if you're catching up on a thread with tons of new responses you may not be able to quote the earlier posts that you want to reply to.
To use it you have to go to "full editor and preview" and then scroll through the thread below the text window and quote the messages you want.

Re: Multi-quote feature
If you guys have a link to a phpbb extension that can do this, then we can add it. There is one option, but the extension comes with a ton of other bloat so we decided not to use it. Must be compatible with phpbb 3.2.x

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS, not necessarily as good as some other's I have seen that are built into the forum directly. But this works for most cases.TimK wrote: ↑Fri Mar 23, 2018 12:31 pm There is already a multiquote feature, but it's pretty limited.
