I don't know about anyone else, but I normally hit 'reply with quote' for the first post. I have a tab set up for another window for BF, so I then go to the other reply I would like to quote, do a cut and paste of the quote, come back and insert the cut and paste in the first post.

Of course, if you have really strong Kung Fu, you can make the nested quotes disappear in someone else's original post.

I bow before you Master. Is this the power of the gods? Or is it the power of the mods?

You two are BOTH show offs.

But Nachoman learned how to do multiple quotes, and that's what's important .

Vbulletin (recent versions anyway) includes a 'multiple quotes' feature in its feature set. On boards where it is enabled you get a 'multi-quote' button beside the reply button in each post. The idea of it is that you click on that button for all posts you wish to respond to, and then click on the 'reply to thread' button.

Doing so presents you with a post editing box with the quotes all already formatted for you, and ready for you to include your replies.

I'm not sure which version of Vbulletin is in use for this forum, but if it's a recent one the feature would only need a rather simple configuration change.
