Under the Quick Reply box, there's a checkbox that says "Quote message in replay", but clicking it does nothing. I figured that you'd probably have to checkmark a post in the thread, and then clicking it would insert a quote of it into the Quick Reply, but that didn't work. I also tried using the "Multi-Quote" button on a couple posts and clicking the checkmark to see if that was what was needed, and no luck.

What's that checkmark for, and how do you get it to work?

That checkmark makes no sense, and of course whilst I am typing this, I can't find it to try it again. And where is the multi quote? That would make it so I do not have to post several times to quote several things

Multi-Quote is the little button with the quotation marks next to the Quote button at the bottom of a post. Clicking it makes it red, and if you click multiple ones, and then click "Post Reply", a reply window will show up with each marked post in quote tags.

I'm fairly certain that it's an unfinished vBulletin feature.

Just testing it too make sure I got it right. Thanks for telling me. And still no clue what the checkbox does, but I believe Ohms idea to be correct that it is unfinished
