Hit the quote button and look at the structure.

Multi-quoting is very easy. Simply click on the "Quote Cloud" at the bottom right of those posts you wish to quote. The multiple quotes must be from posts inside the same thread you are replying to. When you have selected the quotes you want to appear in your post, click on the "Post Reply" button and the quotes will appear in the order you selected them. (See image)

You can also go inside the quotes and edit the material before submitting your post, but don't change the meaning or "spin" what you are quoting while doing so. That would be unethical.

Likewise, several items can be quoted manually by using the "copy - paste" method. Copy the item you want to post, paste it in the Reply text box, highlight it again, and then click on the "Quote Icon" at the top of the text box.

OR you can manually enter the quote brackets from your keyboard (i.e. [QUOTE]Paste text being quoted[/QUOTE]). This would be the method to use if you were breaking a large post into different parts for quoting.
