Maybe I'm not explaining this well, Lol...

I'll post a pic...

Nested quotes can end up filling a lot of page space on a site. Readers end up doing a lot of scrolling past all the multiple quotes to get to the new comments. Sometimes those comments get dwarfed by the quote box and are hard to spot. At least to my old eyes.

Responding like this between each quote can help somewhat.

The only + I can find is in he top right of my iPad which opens another browser . . . . I’m still lost

Here you go. Hit the quotation marks for each desired post but hit “quote” on the last one you wish to include.

One caveat. You cannot just click the multi-quote button once, you have to do it for each post you want to respond to.

What I do is, I read each reply, if something strikes me , I click the multi-quote button each time, and I keep reading. Once I am finished , I then hit the reply button and every single multi-quote I was interested in, will appear. I then look for where they end and then post below each one.



1. Read the thread.

2. Hit multi-quote each time you want to reply to something.

3. At the end of all the quotes .............hit post reply. (to the left at the bottom of the screen).

4. Find where each quote begins and ends............post below each one.

Great instructions!!
I gotta say, this place is special. Not many forums would get this kind of member help for others.
Very cool.

Thanks guys, I did not know about the multi-quote which helps a little. I guess stacking the quotes just isn't available on this forum.

Appreciate the help and glad others had the same issues so I wasn't alone!

I’m still lost so someone who is smarter take over for me... (which narrows it down to everyone else except Jocke ).

Dorklehead was invented for Paul, by Paul!!!

I wondered how to do this myself. Thanks for the advice.
I find the individual listings easier to read than the "stacking" which I just find annoying.
