Multiquotes

Post by kaisellgren »

Like the topic title says, multiquotes is something we need. It's so handful, you just click on the message quote buttons and finally you press "new post" and voilà! All comments you quoted are in the textarea.

This one really is useful, why does it not exist?

1) you can already quote posts, you can even quote posts that have quoted other posts
2) over quoting posts is redundant with the threaded discussion board paradigm, If everyone quoted eachother how would it be any more readable then a e-mail discussion group?

1. I noticed that later.
2. I never wanted to overquote, just quote more than one message. I just did not realize it is available in New Post rather than clicking on the buttons in the thread.

Btw, if you edit your post, you can't quote.
