When should we use Multi-quote?

• If several people in a thread have asked the same question or query and you want to provide all of them a single answer
• If you want to respond to multiple messages in a single response

Please DO NOT use multi-quote if you are just thanking people for participation in a thread. Just referencing them by name in your response should be good enough.

Also, when using multi-quote, it is not courteous to quote entire posts. You would unnecessarily increase the page length making browsing harder for members. You should quote only the portion of the message that is relevant to your reply (i.e. you should edit out portions of the quoted message that is not relevant to your reply). Clicking on icon to the right of the quoted member's name (circled in the attachment) will take readers to the full message.

How can I Multi-Quote?

STEP 1 - Click on the multi-quote icon for all the posts that you want to quote (the multi-quote icon will change color once the icon is clicked)
