next to each of those posts. You'll see the icons change color. You can select as many posts as you like, even across multiple pages of a long thread.
Thanks for the tip, Neil. The multi-quote button was news to me!

I'll share another little tip: Instead of quoting the entire text of the person you want to reply to, use your right-click mouse function to edit it. Once you've clicked "quote", you can then highlight and cut out all but the most relevant parts, respace as needed, etc. That way people don't have to reread the same long message several times over if there's only one little question you wanted to answer. Just make sure to leave the open and close quote codes needed to create the box.
