Need expert help with reply issues
 

I know title is more than vague, but did not even know if this is the right place to post.

1. I need help how to consolidate replies to multiple quotes. Right now I click on "quote" and that single post pops up for reply. A lot of other posters are able to respond to 2,3 or even more posts and they show up in their separate frames but in one reply. How do I do that? If I wasn't clear explaining it, ask for details please.

2. Why do letters that I type specifically in capital mode, like "LAX" show up in lowercase mode "lax" in my post?

Quoted frames consist of text in between bracketed "quote' and "/unquote" commands. I can't show you because it will wind up quoted. The commands look like this (replace the "*" with the letter "o"):

[qu*te]Text you want quoted.[/qu*te]

This will produce the following:

I have no idea. It certainly doesn't work that way with me.

1. Just to the right of the "quote" button is a button with + " (a plus sign and a big double quote mark) on it. Click that for each of the posts you want to reply to, then click the "post reply" button at the bottom of the thread, and you'll get an editing window with all those posts in it. As PTravel said, each will be inside [qu*te] and [/qu*te] marks. The quoted posts will appear in the order in which you clicked them, not necessarily in chronological order.

2. No idea, either.

(First question already answered)

If a thread title is in all caps, it's converted to avoid the online equivalent of shouting. The conversion software doesn't know that parts of it, like airport or airline codes, should stay in UC.

Maybe it also changes posts or sentences from all UC to mixed case.

I've never seen an airport code, or any other isolated capitalized string, converted to LC when the text around it was in LC or mixed case.

If that wasn't the problem, can you post an example?

This is copied from one of my posts in the UA Ch9 availibilty thread :

"08/30 phl-lax ua 278 a320
08/31 san-sfo ua522 b757
08/31 san-phl ua029 a319 "

Hoorah!!! After 2000 posts I finally got it. Thanks to all of you. That was a doozie.

FYI. If you are up for challenges and want to go even further, check out the sticky thread for more tips. Being a non-techie, I picked up quite a few nice tips from it:

Could you have hit the caps lock key by accident?

Man, you are good. Yes, I think that was it. I am one of the few people who capitalizes everything. I know, it's not p.c. and it suppossedly means "screaming". I never mean to scream, but for most of my life I wrote in capital letters, by hand as well as on the typewriter, on the telex and now on the computer. normally I notice it on Flyertalk, because it automatically corrects me to lower case. But when I did just numbers and airport codes, I got the lower case as a result. I think, you solved the puzzle. Thanks.
