• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

I recommend reading the sticky thread at the top of this forum, How do I quote from a post? It explains how to do pretty much everything you can do with quotes here.

I read that sir, I was hoping there was something that was not explained - perhaps an "advanced" move.

I've been quoting multiple posts in the same response manually, but I think it could add a lot if such a feature were implemented. In other forums I've seen it where you could click what is the "quick reply" feature here, on each of the posts which you would like quoted in your response. You could then reply to or comment easily on multiple posts.

I did a Google search of the site and was able to find a reference in the FAQ where it says this is possible, but it does not seem to be an active feature since the multiquote button (
multiquote_off.gif
) is not visible to me. Of course I may have a feature turned off somewhere but if so I don't know where to turn it on.

The automatic quote (and multiquote) is disabled to try to prevent posts from looking like this one.

Is there a way to quote multiple posts at the same time?

The current setup allows quoting capability (including multiple quotes per post) but discourages quoting entire posts when all that is really of interest is one or two sentences.
