Multi-Quote reply (Read 110 times)

    vBulletin has a nice feature where you can select all the posts (on a page) that you want to reply to, and it will quote each in your response.  I usually do this by hand in a rather clumsy fashion, but it would be a handy UI feature.

      If we are going to address multi-quoting, it would be nice to be able to do it at all in iOS. Copy/paste removes the quote box. IIRC, this used to work, but went away when we switched to the current version of the editor.

        What the what? That's a multi-what reply.

          ^ see that?  What if I want to reply to both DavePNW and you in the same post?  Wouldn't it be nice if I could easily quote you both like the above?  See below.

          ^ I did that manually by loading another browser tab, hitting quote-reply on Dave's post.  Copy and Paste the text into this post.  Instead, it would be nice to just check the both posts and hit "multi-reply" as you can do in vBulletin.

           

          Not earth shattering.  Just nice.

              Yeah you can grab the HTML using the Source Code button, but that is a real pain to do on the iPhone.  I find that the pop up boxes that the editor uses don't size very easily when I'm on my phone.

              Not at it at all.

                    Or don't. See what I care.

                      I'm still waiting for somebody to say something interesting enough to quote.
