A question about Multi-quoting

evmiller · Oct 23rd 2018

I know that highlighting a phrase of somebody's post gives you the option of 'saving' the quote, or 'inserting' the quote, and 'inserting' the quote is fairly straight forward and inserts a quote quite nicely in the reply I'm preparing. However, I've yet to understand what 'saving' the quote is for. Where does it save to, and how is this later retrieved? I assumed you could highlight and save multiple quotes and when you finely clicked 'Insert', all of them would be inserted all at once. This obviously isn't the case. Can anybody give me some insight as to how this is meant to be used?

For example, I've saved the following two quotes from you post. On the bottom right corner, there is a new button where these quotes have been saved. The button appears on pages where you can create content. For example, I can collect quotes from multiple posts, threads, blog posts, etc. and bring them all in into one new post.

Quote from Alexander Ebert

Stability releases (also known as "minor releases") aim to solve existing problems in the current version. Like every stability release, they do not introduce new features; It is strongly recommended to apply these updates.

O.K. Thanks a lot for that. They should make the icon shake or something like a notification icon does. I swear I've never noticed that down there before. Awesome feature by the way.

Just a pic in case someones else needs to find it too.

Sorry to jump in again, but how come the quoted person's avatar shows in the quote?

Doesn't do that on my forum.

Can you explain you insert the quote into a post when you don't see the users avatar?

Like I've just done here?

I get this on my forum as per attached. (no avatar)

Okay. Does this also occur in the standard style shipped with the software?

Which version of WoltLab Community Framework / WoltLab Suite are you using?

CSS

.quoteBoxIcon {

    
    display: block !important;

}

Earlier versions of Burning Board used to display avatar in quoted text. Not there since WSC 3.0.

That brings the avatar into the quote perfectly, so many thanks to both for your help.
