Works for me? What situation did it not work in?

"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." - Marcus Cole

....

Yep, works copying from other threads too.

You're talking about Ctrl+x/c/v right?

When you are quoting, it doesn't include quotes already in the quoted message. So, I quoted this from Triff's multi-quote message and it didn't pick up the quotes.

Which is good, as we otherwise would end up with huge posts with quote upon quote. If you quote somebody, the assumption is that you want to quote the guy who wrote the post, not the guy he was quoting. You could use copy-paste on the whole post and then throw quote tags at the appropriate places though.

Why are there two Triffs? One Triff and one Trifletraxor? Is Banned Beetle going to make an appearance as well?

If the direct quote won't make sense without what they're quoting, you can just include the original too, with the "Multi-Quote" button (first).

Very likely. Then he can have three votes in polls...

Thanks, that seems to work.

Can anyone give us dolts training on how to use the Forums?

Trifletraxor is my admin login, which I only use with my Clean Ferrari 1000 BRP Central laptop. Triff is the login I use on all the infested computers out there, including the one in office.

Mohahahah!
