Something many people don't seem to know about so i thought i'd explain.

For those who don't know, multi-quote is quoting various posts at the same time.

Lets say for example, you see a comment with a question and you're going to quote it and answer it, but then you see another post with a comment you agree or disagree with and want to quote and give a response to it.
What many do is make 2 consecutive posts with one quote each, this of course is marked as a double-post and will probably get you in trouble.

What you need to do in such cases to not double post is quite simple:
1) Choose what posts you want to quote.
2) See that little button in the lower right corner? That one with the + sign in it.
Simply click it in all the posts you want to quote, this will "mark" them for muti-quote.
3) And press the "Quote" button in any post you want, and done! all your quotes will be in a single post!
(Note: Pressing "Quote" in a post that's not marked for multi-quote WILL quote the post.)

Hope that helps! :)

This already exists, check to the right of the "Thanks" button. ;)

Yeah, he was telling people how to do that, not requesting the feature.

Thanks, I wasn't quite sure how to use the feature before.

The point has been made, so no more discussion is necessary. Locked. :)
