    yeah that's handy

    But is there a way to undo it?

    It works well when you use it, but if you come back to the same thread later then hit "reply with quote" on a new post, you get all of the posts you quoted in your reply box (again)

    Just click it again. It'll toggle back off.

    You shouldn't, unless you're using the back button on the browser, which is telling the browser "return to the previous page in the state in which I left it" so if you're doing that, and getting the multiple replies quoted again, it's cause you should.
    If you're having trouble logging in or any other tech support issues, or if you have a question about the software, please post them in the Visitor's Corner.
    If you need to reach me about something more private, please contact me via private message.

    Reaching out to me privately may not result in a quick response. Posting in the Visitor's Corner ensures other staff members will see your post as well and may be able to help you more quickly.

    Also, as far as I know, none of the staff here are psychics, so if you are reporting an issue, and want help, then please take the time to be as detailed as possible. The more effort you put into describing the problem, the more we'll put into solving it.

    I get them when I come back to the thread, like the next day, which I do through "settings".

    So when I want to make a new reply, all the old quotes also come up unless I go back and individually uncheck or individually delete the quotes in the reply window.

    When you quick the multi quote button on a reply it takes the content of that reply and sticks it in a cookie. When you reply, the cookie should be cleared. If you don't reply, they'll stay in the cookie for a long time.

    If you're finding that you quote, reply, and they still stick around, lets try forcibly resetting your forum cache. CTRL-F5.

    Thanks

    And the multi-quotes were gone this morning when I posted from a different computer, so the "cookie" thing totally makes sense.

    Doing a test to see if it goes away.

    For me it went away after I replied. Maybe I'll play around some more to see if I can recreate the issue.

    Okay so one of the quotes I had in the controversial "hungry children" group just won't go away. I let it stay there, I have new replies, and it just keeps following me around like a sticky booger.

    Have you tried logging out, clearing your cookies and then logging back in?
