I'm glad you asked about this, because other forum users have probably had the same question.

I'll share an "advanced" tip as well. If you want to quote more than one previous post, as I've done here, there's a button for that too!

Suppose you want to quote two different posts. Click the "multi-quote" button

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.

Then click the
Name:  vbulletin_reply.gif
Views: 2
Size:  3.2 KB
button and all of the posts you selected will be quoted in your message. You can type your own message at the bottom or put part of your message between the quoted posts as I did in this post.

If that's too confusing, don't bother with this advanced tip; you can always post twice instead. But it's handy to combine them if you know how!
