I select two posts for multi-quoting, then I am not able to make a reply box come up with both of the quotes in it. What am I missing here? ---

I was going to dispatch it with snakeshot, but couldn’t find my H&R 999 immediately. The squirrel seemed to be perking up, so I put it on top of the shed in the back yard. It isn’t moving around much, but it _is_ moving on the top of the shed. > > Creamsicle was a stray who adopted us. She must have developed hunting skills, and she has demonstrated them with birds and mice. But a squirrel? She never seemed to be interested. Besides that, she has a tiny little mouth and she’s not a very big kitty. And the squirrels are alert and fast. It never occurred to us that she would or could catch one. > [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > I select two posts for multi-quoting, then I am not able to make a reply box come up with both of the quotes in it.

Hit the “+” button for all except last one, then for the last one hit the “Quote” button, then everything should appear inside a reply box. ---

> [@Riemann](#): > > Hit the “+” button for all except last one, then for the last one hit the “Quote” button, then everything should appear inside a reply box. That works! Thanks! What I’m actually seeing on my desktop: “+” button to the left of the Multi-Quote link (which doesn’t seem to actually link to anything, in spite of showing as a blue link) “Reply With Quote” link. If I hit the “+” buttons beside the Multi-Quote “links” for all the posts I want to quote, then hit the “Reply With Quote” link on one of them, it quotes all the quotes I have selected. This seems like it could be a little more obvious to me - after fooling around with it and being familiar with this board for 18 years, I still wasn’t able to come up with how to do it on my own. ---

so that’s how you do that now …in the old days you pressed the quote button for each one after the multi button … on my pc each of the multiquote buttons turn red … ---
