    Double quoting

    How do you all do a double quote, ie, quote two diffo folks in same response, so that both show up in little balloon, like a single quote (not a mere copy and paste)?

    For every person you want to quote, click the "speech bubble" with the + sign at the far right-hand side, just under the post. On the last person you want to quote, click "Reply with quote". Doing this, you can even quote people over more than one page.
