How to include quotes within quotes in posting?
I'm sure this info is provided somewhere, but I can't find it via searching.
If I see a post that has Poster B quoting Poster A, how do I include the quotes from both B and A in my subsequent post? If I simply hit the quote icon, all that shows up is the language from B, not A. (Note, I'm not talking about multi-post quotes here, but rather my post C quoting both B's quote of A.)
Thanks for any help.

You can create as many quotation levels as you want by wrapping using the Quote box, or manually using BB code:
is
[*QUOTE]He said[*QUOTE]She said [*QUOTE]Hello[/QUOTE][*QUOTE]Goodbye[/QUOTE][/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
Delete the asterisks to make it work.
He said
She said
Hello
Goodbye
[*QUOTE]He said[*QUOTE]She said [*QUOTE]Hello[/QUOTE][*QUOTE]Goodbye[/QUOTE][/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

Thank you.
I am not sure what to do after I click it. Might have to play around.

To multi-quote and have one quote inside another quote, follow the above steps and then cut the quote you want to place inside the other quote (cut the entire post to include the the bracket at the beginning of the post "[" and at the end of the post "]" and paste the quoted post to the right of the bracket "]" quoting the member's name

To quote one member, use the quote button. To quote multiple members, click the multi-quote button for each post you want to quote and also click the quote button on the last post as well and your reply window opens with all the posts quoted.
