It seems some of the newer members don't know how to use these features, but if you want to quote multiple posts you can use the

button to add a post to your quote selection (it'll turn into:

to show you it is selected).

Then when you quote the final post or reply the saved quotes will all be ready in your post, meaning you don't have to reply multiple times in a short time-span.

Likewise, this wonderful button:

lets you edit a post that you've already made - so if you want to say something else not long after posting and no-one has posted in the meantime then you can just edit your last post, rather than double posting.

These forums are not threaded, so reducing multiple posts makes them easier to read.

Cheers :)

Don't worry about it but Kalniel is right, it does make the forum easier to read without a load of multiple posts.

Not aimed at anyone in particular, don't worry! :) - I've been merging posts from lots of different people recently, so thought it might be helpful :)
