Following a few comments recently about the limitations of the quoting system on the forum, we have decided to roll out the updates we have made so far.
The aim eventually, is to have the ability to quote from posts over multiple pages. While we haven't got to that stage yet, we have managed make a step in the right direction with a new highlight and quote fucntionality, which will be part of the cross-page quoting system when finished.
So, currently, here is how it works;
Single Quote
Highlight some text in a quote, and you will see a small 'Quote ME!' button pop up. Click this, and the highlighted text, complete with user attribution will be put in the comment box.
This is not the full solution to the current problem, but it is part of the fix, so we thought it would be good to go live with it how it is at the moment.
Cross-Page Multi-Quoting
This function is in its' infancy, but works to an extent now, so we thought it OK to go live. It is a little complex, but we will simplify it in time. For now, here is what you do;
1. Highlight the text you want, then click the 'Quote ME!' pop-up.
2. Find any other text you want to quote, highlight it and click the 'Quote ME!' pop-up.
3. Do this as many times are you require.
Go to the comment box, and at the bottom left should now be a small line of text saying, 'get quotes' with a number next to it. The number will match the number of quotes you have in memory. Clicking this will paste everything you have into the comment box.
This is rather 'hacky' at the moment, but will become more refined with time. If you find any bugs, etc. please post them in this thread. As with any feature, it takes time to develop, so your patience is valued as ever.
Thanks.
