Is it just me, or has this handy little button disappeared for everyone else as well?

    Not just you. I think it has been gone for a bit.

    Yep, multi-quote has been gone for a while (fail).

    Probably trying to boost comment counts per thread [meh].

        For whatever reason, I never got that button to work.

          I'm glad it's not just me then. Still it's a very strange decision.

          It was dead simple. Just hit multi-quote for all the posts you want to quote, and then standard quote for the last one. That'd then open the standard reply box and away you go.

          A very handy tool.

          So that blind people can hate them as well.

            I don't think it was a "decision." It disappeared and was mentioned in OT previously. Admin said thanks for the heads up and that they will fix it and I guess that's the end of that.

        ? maybe making room to fix the image problem that has been broken since the upgrade ?

        funny that word upgrade ? it is supposed to mean things get better but it really seems more like a downgrade in function and usability.

      I'm sure I saw that button appear once on a previous post last week or so I needed to edit. I'm going to post this now and then go to edit and see if it appears.

      Edit, nope, didn't come up. Maybe, just maybe, someone was trying to get it fixed--and it didn't happen.

        Maybe they got rid of it because the quality of conversations in the main forums have deteriorated so much that there's rarely anything worth quoting, let alone multiple people or posts...!
