We would like to know if you could quote several messages at the same time. My friend has been also on other forums earlier and in one of them there was a special button for that. She means that you would do it this way:

Message 1

yyy wrote:
xxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx

Message 2
yyy wrote:
xxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx

Message 3
yyy wrote:
xxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx


So, does someone know if it is possible do it that way here too? She couldn't find any instructions for it.

It's quite easy. Although it's a round about solution - there is no direct way as far I know.

Click the "quote" button using right button of the mouse and choose "open in new tab/window".
Do the same with all posts you want to quote.
Copy the texts you get in each tab/window text fields to one of them.
Close all tabs/windows except the one with all texts in.

That's it. The text field in tab/window you copied all the texts to will become a post with all the of the messages quoted.

Unfortunately there is no multiquote button but Kiriae's solution does work.

I usually highlight a part of the post I want to quote in the recent posts under my own text box and then click the relevant quote button. In this way you can add a quote into your text box where you type your own message. It seems that you can add as many quotes as you like. If you want to quote the whole post, you click the relevant quote button without highlighting any part of the post. I cannot do this on my iPhone though.

On forums that do not have a multi-quote option I usually copy-paste the post I am quoting to a text-editor, like for example word.
