I believe one of the new features is the ability to use multiple quotes, but I have no idea how to use this feature. Can someone give us a lesson?

Easy!
When you want to quote multiple posts just click the http://tagrel.com/forum/images/buttons/multiquote_off.gif (http://tagrel.com/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=286117) icon to select the posts you want. When you get to the last one, click http://tagrel.com/forum/images/buttons/quote.gif (http://tagrel.com/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=286117) and they'll all appear in your post. Then you should trim away the parts of the posts to which you aren't responding.
If you change you mind about one post, you clip http://tagrel.com/forum/images/buttons/multiquote_on.gif (http://tagrel.com/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=286117) again to unselect it.

Not bad...I figured it was something so simple even I could do it. Thanks for the lesson Robin.
What other new features are there and how do we use them?

There are a couple of new features with Private Messages. The first is that your email notification will include a text of the message.
The second is that you can use a BCC, bulk copy feature. This doesn't change much, though. You still can only send out to 5 members total in private message. If you are sending to only one person, you can only BCC 4 more. However it is a new feature even though it changes nothing.

After I saw Moley post this, I just had to play around with the PMs.
In the past, if you sent a PM to 5 people, each receipient could only see their own name.
Now if you want the other names hidden, you need to put them in the BCC field..
If you address a PM to 5 people (the old fashion way), all 5 names will appear in the To field, so everyone will see who the message was sent to.

Holey Moley!
Robin's right. I tried to post a reply (yesterday) to Moley, but I lost tagrel's for an hour or so, and then I figured with the Light Saber and all, I'd wait for someone with more 'force' to correct Darth Mole!
Even tho Yoda is green, frogs fare rather poorly against a light saber! :yowsa:

BCC actually stands for Blind Carbon Copy, and does exactly what Robin reports. (From back when carbon paper was used to make copies).
I'd like to be clear to the Sith Lord Moley, that no disrespect whatsoever is intended, and my squad will have those Rebel cowards caught and brought before you within the hour!

It is blind copy! How could I be so forgetful of that little abbreviation from a decade far far away! :doh:
As a reward for your insight, your disrespectful head is being returned by Imperial Express a day early. Live long and prosper! :cool: :vader:
