Multi quote

[lovesreading06]

It did work for me before and i did double check faq but i'm doing what it says there and it doesn't work.

Also i used to be able to use quick reply but i now need to go in to go adavnaced to be able to post a message.

I'm using Mozilla Firefox.

Laura, I use Firefox, and nothing has changed here. What's wrong with Quick Reply?

[prospero]

I know nothing about firefox but if multi-quote isn't working I press F5 or F6 and that usually gets it going again. Don't know why. Magic?

[madcow]

My quick reply works and I use mozilla firefox, the only difference is the smilies but if you click on it they pop up.

[lovesreading06]

It doen't load up for somereason. I just have to go adamced. Another 'What's Up Today?' Thread there quite a few i would like to quote but when i click on the button in the threads i want quoted. i click reply and it just brings up that one msg that i clicked reply on. Would bt ( interenet) have anything to do with it?

[madcow]

Sorry can't help you there Laura, I'm just mastering the multi quote button :)

[Michelle]

As you can see Laura, it's fine here.. so I don't think it's anything this end. Did you try prospero's suggestion?

When using Quick Reply you need to hit the button marked "Q Reply" on the post to which you wish to reply. You will then automatically be taken to the Quick Reply box to type your message. You then hit the "Post Quick Reply" button beneath the box. You can also check the little box that says "Quote message in reply?" if you want to quote as part of your message.

When using Multi-Quote, you need to hit the button on each of the posts you wish to quote - the one that looks like "+ (bewteen the "Quote" and "Q Reply" buttons). After you've done that on each of the desired posts, you click on the button at the bottom of the page that says "Post reply" - it will take you to the advanced post screen complete with the post quotes you selected.

When quoting a single post, you can simply hit the "Quote" button on the required post. you will automatically be taken to the advanced post screen with the post quote you selected.

Please remember that when quoting previous posts, delete anything not relevant to your reply - it makes things much easier to read. :)

Sometimes this has happened to me, only one or two messages will come up out of a few, but usually it is fine.

I know nothing about firefox but if multi-quote isn't working I press F5 or F6 and that usually gets it going again. Don't know why. Magic?f5 performs a 'hard refresh' which is a complete reload of the page your on so it will re-load the page and get rid of any bugs or glitches that may have occured in the original page load. :)

another solution would be copy paste the comment you want and put this round it : the quote

*Edit*
edited to put code tags round so people could see the code rather than the effect.

Nope, it's definitely magic. :D

you can actually only mullti-quote a certain amount of messages in a single post. I think it's 5, but I'm not 100% certain. If you want to quote any more than that, you'd need to do two separate posts (or more, if you were quoting 10 messages, but I don't think you'd need to dothat very often! ;) )

Mozilla Firefox i can't even reply because there no buttons to press. Does anyone know what i could try at my own end to see if it works?

Intenet explorer ok but if i have to many windows open it crashes.

[Janet]

I'm on Firefox and it's okay for me. This sounds like one for Beef!

[Michelle]

Laura, it really sounds as if you need to upgrade or reinstall Firefox.

[lovesreading06]

I took it out and reinstalled it nothing. I done a virus scan and there no threats appearing on it.

[Kell]

I hate to say it, Laura, but with the multi-screen causing your computer to crash, it sounds like you might need an upgrade anyway...

[lovesreading06]

I removed firefox and installed it. I installed it again and should be the updated version of it.

You know at the side you normally get a pic up and some are open and some closed but i don't have any of that on firefox.

Is there anything in my settings i should look at?

I'm using intenet explorer at the monet

[lovesreading06]

Sorry to double post but does anyone know what to do. I can't stand using interent explorer.

[Michelle]

Laura, it's often very difficult to sort out a computer problem without actually sitting in front of it. No one else appears to be having problems with FF, so it sounds like something your end. And as Kell said, if your pc is crashing when you open multiple windows, it could be that your actual computer needs upgrading.

Do you have any friends who know a bit about computers, who could actually sit at yours and check your settings etc etc?

[lovesreading06]

I fixed it. I did something in options and it worked.

Sorry for borthing you all.

Thanks! I've always wondered how to do this!! [consider there is a huge smilie here, there were apparently too many images, and I had to delete a couple. !!

Nope, it's definitely magic. :D
'Tis that.

I'm flexible, could be them thar critters too! ;)
