For those of you who love to quote posts from other members, here's a new feature that you will surely love.

Introducing.... The Multi-Quote Feature.

The Multi-Quote Feature is a feature that lets you quote multiple post from other members. Cross-thread quoting is also possible with this new feature.

Here's how to use it:

1.) In a thread, choose the posts that you want to quote. To choose a post, click the "Quote" option that can be seen at the right portion of the post window and in the middle of the "Like" and "Reply" Options.

2.) Once you have clicked "Quote" option, the message will then be added to the multi-quote feature. Take note also that the "Quote" option in the post that you have chosen will now be highlighted.

You can also rearrange the order of your quotes just by simply dragging the messages up and down.

It is. I've used it on other forums B4. So, if I can do it, so can you.
