No admin thread to post this in, so I'm posting here. I'm having trouble with multiple quote replies. On other forums I use quote - quote/ in brackets to format the reply, but here it doesn't seem to work. And then the badly formatted post gets saved and keeps recurring when I try to start again.

I hit reply on each of the people I want to add the quote of and itll just put them in the reply box thing for me.

It's when I want to separate a reply by one poster into multiple quotes I hit problems.
I get it now. What I do is copy the first bracketed part and paste it at the start of what I want to quote first and then copy paste the last bracketed part at the end of it

I hope my poor explanation is making sense without being insulting. These kinds of conversations always go way better face to face at the greasy spoon or around the camp fire.
