maybe a silly question but how do you multi quote please?

I am not sure you can, as I've never managed it but they do build up as each poster 'quotes' a post that already has a 'quote' in it and I understand there is a maximum of 3 quotes that can be included in one post. Hope that made sense and I'm sure there will be someone more knowledgeable than me, so that's everyone then, along soon to help you out.

The limit of nesting quotes - one inside another does indeed seem to be three before an editing error is reported.

However the limit of sequential quotes - one after the other - is at least 6 (the most I tried) from the Preview panel.

Notice the exposed structure in the text line below (ignoring the "\" characters that makes the format visible):

Bracket name= bracket starts it. Followed by the quoted text. Then bracket, forward slash bracket ends it.

If, for example, you had posted something and wanted to reply to questions from a number of commentors, you'd need to open each in separate tabs, then copy/paste the relevant parts into your single - all encompassing reply.

HTH? Clear as mud?

Never knew they were called 'nesting quotes' aw, that makes them sound quite sweet little things
