Multiple Quotes

[suitcase 0]

I've noticed that some people are able to get multiple quotes in their messages so that they can respond to several board members in one posting.

 

I've made an attempt with my limited computer skills but with no success.

 

Would appreciate some instructions if it's not too complicated. I read slow so please don't type it too fast. lol

 

Thanks for the help

I hope this helps. The instructions seem a bit more complicated than they actually are, it's just a matter of executing the steps in order. Once you've done it a couple of times, it will be really easy.

Very clear Bachelor and very much appreciated. Here's a test to see if it's as easy as it sounds.
