Is multiquote what I think it is? That is, I can collect multiple quotes from multiple users in a single reply? I've been doing that manually (click quote, copy, click quote another user, paste first quote, select and copy both quotes, click quote on another user, so on so forth).

Is there a better way?

POTN at vBulletin had multiquoting, too, but it wasn't labeled as such.

Hit that MQ button below every post you want to include in your reply. Then REPLY (to any of those posts or any other post) or POST TO THREAD and all the quotes are added to the reply automatically.

If you reply using QUOTE button, that quote is added after the multiquotes.

Multiquote selection list is cleared on submit, or you can clear the list manually in Quote Tools inside the post editor.

I just used MultiQuote for the very first time, earlier today (or was it last night?).

WOW! It makes multi-quoting so easy! I used to have several windows open on my screen, and go back and forth from one to the other, copy, paste....copy, paste.....copy, paste........

This time, I just clicked on the MQ button of each post I wanted to quote, then, once I had clicked on them all, I clicked on POST TO THIS THREAD, and - presto! - there were all of the quoted posts! It is so intuitive; I didn't read instructions about how to do it - I just figured that was probably how it worked, and, it did!

Thanks for this awesome, awesome tool! What a great idea!


"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

I wasn't smart enough to figure it out!
