Thanks everyone.

I'm alright Epi, how've you been?

This is an example of multiquote, an extension I just added, in action.

Here's a couple of screenshots that I think explain enough for how to use it:

Well howdee doo! juliets and boo have their new roles for ten minutes and one of our holy grails appears to be covered. That is absolutely remarkable. :eek:

Fantastic stuff, thank you so much boo. Do you know if this works similarly on mobile? I was able to replicate the method easily on my laptop, though the "add quotes" block in the bottom right didn't show on mobile.

That's a good question. I hadn't thought to test that.

On my phone, I'm seeing ... for the bar that has quote and all the other functions that show when you're on a computer. When I select it, instead of just one version of quote showing, it has two with different icons. The higher one is a normal quote, while the second should be multiquote. However, on my phone, it isn't coming up with the box that would then let me post with multiple quotes. I'll look into that, the extension has been out for a while, so I imagine it's something others have run into and solved.

Alright, looks like the issue is we're running an older version of phpbb. The multiquote extension is technically for a slightly higher version than we're on, so while it works, I'm thinking having it function properly on mobile must require the board to be running that higher version. I did make a few changes, but it's still not working on my phone. If anyone else can try, if you do what I outlined above and are double tapping on the quote option, it's supposed to come up with the multiquote box.

One other feature I forgot to mention about that extension: if you highlight part of someones post, it will come up with a quote option for just the highlighted selection, allowing you to quote only a part of a post. This feature can be kind of annoying, because it will hide the quote button for that behind other stuff (avatars, the quote bar, etc). You can somewhat control that by letting go of the mouse button in an open spot, as it seems to always open up and to the left of where you let go.

Also, also: multiquote only works on the current page. So if you want to be able to multiquote a ton of stuff, you'll have to increase your posts per page (that can be done in the user control panel >profile > edit profile > posts per page box (by default it'll be empty). This seems not to be a problem, so in trying to solve the mobile issue I must've gotten an update where the author had fixed that! It'll even maintain the multiquotes if you go to a different thread, lol.

I’m using mobile right now and it worked just fine for this post.

I just checked again, and it looks like it works fine in landscape mode on mobile. On portrait mode, the mutliquote button is still there under the "..." menu, but the box doesn't appear on the bottom right.

More than good enough for me anyway. :beer:

Ahh, right you are! Changing orientation to landscape worked for me too.
