<DD>Surprisingly, a lot of users have been here for years and have yet to master or were never completely aware of quoting or multiple quoting posts.

Here I will show you how to do that and where to find the correct buttons for each task.

Along with that, I will show you how to edit down long quotes to only include the content you desire to speak to.

Easy, right?

Now let's try multiple quoting.

This is the button that is right next to the Quote Button.
