Erm, I feel a little weird about asking this, but I'm terrible with tech and I was wondering how to use the multi-quote function...:whis:
Is there a button or some kind of coding-type thing I need to use?
Apologies if this has been asked before!! Thanks so much for your time!

The multi-quote function is the button right next to the "reply with quote" button- you click it for all the posts you want to quote, and then click "reply with quote". However, board culture generally prefers individual replies, even when they result in double or triple posting, over multi-quoting, unless the quotes are all saying roughly the same thing.

THIS. As we prefer a separate replies (and have no rules against multiple posts in a row), there is rarely a good reason to use the multi-quote function at TC.

Yay! Thank you both so much!
