I don't know where instructions are, but what aspect do you want to know? I just click on all the multiquote images (
) that I want to respond to such that they turn red (
) and then click on Post Reply at the bottom of the page (
). Works for me.

mad jew to the rescue ... ThankYou Sir!
But if you select the posts you want to quote but don't end up replying for one reason or another, those selected posts will still be quoted in the next thread you reply to, as I've just discovered... unless you uncheck the alert at the bottom of the reply box.
Really? Would that mean that you could quote someone from an entirely different thread? Talk about taking someone out of context.
Let's just hope it doesn't get overused. I love multi quotes in a single post, but only if they're relevant to what's actually being said in the post.
great feature, this wil stop the newbies (and some veterans) from filling pages with quotes.

I don't think the feature will necessarily get misused. If anything, it will help the Mods in that they will not haver to (in theory) perform as many post merges. And for spammers like myself and mad jew, we now have less of an excuse to post multiple times, since it's so easy to reply to multiple posts in a single thread.

I agree, hopefully this feature will allow us to police our own posts better than before.
And no, I seriously doubt that post counts will drop.
You can also just click on the... and then click on Post Reply at the bottom of the page (). Works for me.
Sadly, the "Merge" and "Delete" buttons are so close together, I often click the wrong one.I just post a reply to one at a time and let the mods clean up my mess. I look it as job security for them.
There's also a new throttling feature - we set a posts-per-day limit on individual members, and, if they exceed that, older posts (possibly from years ago) get deleted so as to limit their effective posting rate. Very nice, actually.j/kAnd no, I seriously doubt that post counts will drop.
you can always just delete the image tags when you quote someone.quick question, is there a way to not allow images in quotes? that would be very useful.

I meant the using the inline 'attach' tags - seems like you need to upload the image(s), determine the URL so as to get the attachment ID, and then manually type it in with tags (otherwise the images all appear below the post). Am I (not surprisingly) missing something?
