Simply and plainly, for the sheer joy of multiquoting. Although I do hope that the same thing doesn't happen here that did in the spoiler button thread.

In the corner of each post you'll now see a little " symbol with a plus sign next to it. Click on it on all the posts you want to quote, then click reply. Voila.

When going through a thread, you click the little quotation marks on the right hand corner of any posts you want to quote. When it's selected it turns green and a little minus sign appears where the plus is. Clicking it again deselects it. When you get to the end of the thread, you click "Reply", and all the posts will be quoted there.
Apparently if you have multiquote from multiple threads they all end up in the same reply or something, so watch out for that.

Okay, I've tested it, & it works quickly & easily. Awesome. Now I don't have to rely on copypasta to address multiple questions.

Yes, actually. There's a little thing at the bottom that reads "You have selected 2 post(s) that are not part of this thread. Quote these posts as well, or deselect these posts."

Awesome. That will be much quicker than clicking "Quote," copying, moving over to the other thread, quoting, pasting, then replying. It's just " + " = Profit. :smallbiggrin:

Paraphrasation, fool.

Paraphrasing denies the use of quotation marks, as they imply a specific quote. The only case where quotation marks are allowable in a paraphrase is if it is mentioned beforehand.

Your lies will be brought to justice! :smallfurious:

I wonder if it works across pages?

By that I mean. If I multiquote my own post, go back to the first page and multiquote the first post there, and hit the reply button will it quote both posts?

It also works across threads.


So, I noticed I can access the Members List again, which I don't think was intentional on the part of the admins. If it is, ignore this, but if it's not, you might want to fix it.

Well, duh!

This post was actually surprisingly easier. I remember seeing the thread title "multi-quote is back," and then seeing the button and thinking "huttah? Oh, multi-quote... Meh." Then I continued to *ctrl-x, ctrl-v* my way through a couple threads. But this... This changes everything!

Quick reply is lame. They have it on Bolter and Chainsword, and I see no point.

Also, polls never went away - they're just not for public use.

Polls can still be had. They just require moderator intervention in order to keep the silliness at bay. For example, there was a recent attempt to start a GitP book club and a poll was started to choose which book was going to be the next one read and discussed.

I'm not sure what criteria the moderator staff are looking for to start a poll, but if you've got an idea for a useful one, it couldn't hurt to run it by them, right?

It's pretty much if you can argue your case well enough, and if they actually read your request. They get boatloads of PMs (or at least Roland does), so they might miss it.
