How do I include a nested quote in replies?
 
When reply to a post, the quotes within the post will not carry over in my reply. How do I keep them in?

The only way I've found to do it is to use multiquote (the blue button to the right of the "Quote" button at the bottom of posts).

The only ways I have found to keep the nested quotes when I quote a post is to either do multi-quote so I quote the post which was nested and then move the nested quote inside the post that quoted it or drag to highlight the nested quote (including the poster's handle), copy it and paste it into the post and then manually insert the quote code

Thanks for the replies. I also use the manual procedure when the earlier post was buried several pages earlier and hard to find, but I hope there is some way that is less awkward.

Not really. I can say that in however many thousands of posts I have made on FlyerTalk, I've only ever found it useful a small handful of times (probably less than 10).

Note that the ancient-and-probably-soon-to-be-depreciated WAP version of the FT site (http://gallery.flyertalk.com/wap) does quote the entire quoted post, including any material quoted in the quoted post, resulting in a nested quote. This isn't intentional so much as it is the third-party software that handles the WAP posting is too stupid to know how to strip out quoted material in a quoted post. ;)

I've been wondering about this too. It's been some time when a post quote would automatically look like this one:

If you select "quote" now, all that's quoted is CubsFanJohn's reply, not what was nested above it.

Like Multi-Quotes

I found nested quotes in the old version to be useful, and am glad that it will survive (via the multi-quote button) procedure in the new version.
