How do you add more than one quote to a post?

I did try to search for this answer, but could not find it

Can someone tell me how to do this? Thanks.

if you are quoting several
then copy the "quote" and paste into notepad (or the like)
...once you have all of the quotes pasted...copy them all into your post.

You can copy/paste text into a post, then select/mark the text you want to quote and then wrap [quote]-tags around it by clicking on the icon.
Or you just type [quote] at the beginning and ["slash"QUOTE] at the end of a phrase you'd like to quote. (Replace "slash" by the actual thing on your keyboard)

Those tags work with multiple quotes, too.
You can even fill in the name of the one you're quoting yourself if you want to: [quote=NAME]
Or a quote in a quote, for that matter:

It is now much easier to use the multiple quote feature. Hit this button ( ) on each post you wish to quote. You'll notice it changes color once selected. Hit it again to remove it from your 'multiple quote list.'

Once you are done selecting posts, hit the button and there you go. You can edit the contents of the quoted areas too. Just make sure that each beginning tag => [quote="username"] ... stuff they wrote ... [/quote] <= has its end tag unaltered.

This is a new feature added since this thread was started. Of course you can still make the tags yourself as described above.

Actually, you can also hit the "QUOTE" button on your last one and all the previous ones will show up above it in the reply.
