How can I quote more than one post at a time? Like the big kids do?  
And, incidentally, why am I not allowed to use the search feature? Are you discriminating against paranoid, great-looking geniuses? Because I THOUGHT you were out to get me.

I cut and paste into notepad if I want to quote more than one post at a time. You could also open another browser window.

Can you explain what problem you’re having with using search?

The search feature now requires you log in first.  
If you’re posting from both home and work or school and the library, this can be a forgotton, especially if you don’t have cookies enabled. (My boss is paranoid, so he has cookies erased as part of the boot sequence.)

Thanks, guys.

The quote feature tells me to log in, but after I do, it tells me I don’t have permission to use this feature.

I’m sorry, I meant the search feature, not the quote feature.
