....Can you tell me how the multiquote feature works ?? I couldn't find anything that explained it on the FAQ section.

 

[Gatordad]

you called????

 

[Rhonda]

LOL Gatordad!

Yes - when you're in a thread, click on the " mark at the bottom of every post you want to quote. The " mark will turn orange on each of them. Then, after you pick all the ones you want, just hit "Quote" like usual, but this time all the quotes will show up!

Did that make sense? You can try it here to see if it works.

Thanks. That is cool. I have wondered that too.

As soon as I saw the thread title I started that song in my head.

 

[Shannone1]

I still didn't get it to work

1- I highlighted the sentence I wanted to quote
2- clicked the " button and the button turned orange
3- then I highlighted another sentence and clicked " and this time the button turned back to gray
4- then I hit "quote" as usual and the whole post was quoted.

What did I do wrong ?? I must be having a blonde moment

Ok...I think I have it now. The problem was I was trying to do multi quotes from the same person's post...not different people. Stacktester did a long trip report and I wanted to comment on a few of his sentences without having to quote the WHOLE thing. That is what made me ask in the first place. So there isn't a way to multiquote the SAME post, right ??

 

[Rhonda]

Just quote his whole post, then go back and delete the lines you don't want!

 

[ntsammy5]

always did like that song. Gatordad, do you have a whole library of pictures ready for these posts?

(another smiley I always wanted to use)

 

[Gatordad]

nah, I'm not that good..... I just let the mood strike me.

Oh Rhonda..........I have a question too....since we are now getting over our fears to ask things..... How do we post a picture in the message box. I tried hitting the picture icon. But it wants a http address. What if I want to post a picture from my computer file...and not the internet. HELP! I am a bit computer useless!!!! Thanks

You can't link to a file directly on your computer. (What would people do when your computer was turned off?) You have to put it up on the internet first so that everyone else can see it. There's a few places that can host images for you: flickr.com or imageshack.us are a couple that come to mind immediately. Imageshack also helps out by providing thumbnails that let you link to a larger picture.

HUH....thats strange...because thats how I posted my signature picture. I posted it straight from my computer file and It still shows when I am off line. BUt I don't understand why I cant post a picture in t he message the same way. By downloading it the same way......HELP I am confused!!!!!!!

 

[Rhonda]

Sorry - this one slipped right by me!

Yes, that's the way it works with your signature -- post directly from your computer file.

But, for a picture within a post, you have to point to it someplace on the Web.
