Yay! Good for everyone! I was doing it the hard way...typing the code and changing the info. This way is MUCH easier! Thanks!!

In order to get both poster's names in your quote, you have to "quote" before you highlight and copy and then go "back" to "quote/reply" to the other one. And if you were doing more than two, it might get a little confusing. So the easier way does it for me in a pinch!

Diane,
I am confused on how to get more than one posters name in multi quotes!! I can get the first posters name but not the second. Can you explain it to me again?? Sorry... I am blonde ya know! lol

Thanks,
Linda

I'll give it a try.......

(I'm blonde too, so we should be able to understand each other's confusion, huh?)

#1 Hit the "quote" button on one of the ones that you want to respond to.
#2 In the message box, highlight (select) and copy (Control-C) their entire post.
#3 Hit the "back" button on your browser's toolbar (you'll be returned to thread. But you will still have the one quote copied onto your virtual clipboard).
#4 Hit the "quote" button on another one of the ones that you want to respond to.
#5 You'll have the new message box open. Leave a couple of blank lines and paste the previously copied quote into this window (Control-V). You should now have both original posts with their names attached.
#6 Leave a couple of new blank lines and then add your own clever comments. (Or you can comment BETWEEN the quotes.)

This gets a little hairy if you want to do more than two.
Okay, now you try and see if I made any sense at all......

For My Coby · 09-19-2007, 10:15 PM

Are you making sure to copy EVERYTHING in the message box? It looks like you might have missed a bracket on the quote that you copied. Try it again.

moosie's mom · 09-19-2007, 10:15 PM

Good job! I am still trying!!
