Anyway, regarding the second part of my earlier message you can multiquote or nest a Code window it seems, but not a Quote window with this custom template! |

Mark, I've discovered there's nothing wrong with Multi-Quotes in your forum (or at least in the default skin which I'm using in preference to your custom one)!:eek: I apologise for hijacking this thread by discussing them here instead of in a separate topic in the Support > Tutorials/How To section (I may do that later) ...
I had misunderstood the concept of Multi-Quotes in vBulletin — what I referred to originally was an inability to use nested quotes (i.e. a quote of a quote) to display Shane's quotes in my reply to his message. I've just discovered that nested quotes are not possible in vBulletin and many users in their forum have been pushing for this feature to be added (which is a standard feature of SMF; that's where we all have the experience of it and like it so much). This is also why it's better to use a Code window ALWAYS when displaying code or other procedures, because it can be nested (at least once) in a reply.
A Multi-Quote is what I've used in my reply here, by selecting my earlier message and your last to display them both contextually; you can also add quotes from messages in other topics by following the attached procedure (note that each quote uses the topic reference number). Warning: if you go around tagging any other topics for quoting, they will be included in every reply you make with quotes, so remember to deselect them ...
