Multi-quoting?

I've been at other forums where they have a multi-quote feature. It's another button by each message - when you select it, it lights up (changes color) instead of taking you to a reply screen. When you finally hit "Post Reply", you'll have quotes for all the messages you selected. It makes responding to multiple posts a lot easier, and cuts down repeat posts in a thread by one person. Have any of you heard/seen something like this before? I quite like the feature, though I know the underlying program code makes some things hard to implement.

I tried searching to see if this has been asked, but very well could have missed it due to picking the wrong search words - so sorry if this has been covered.

That is a feature of VB 3.5 and beyond...

I'd settle for getting rid of the hang-ups the board seems to go through on a daily basis, personally.

I'm personally not a big fan of them because they make posts hard to read and figure out who's responding to what.

If kindergarteners can learn to color within the lines, we can learn to read within the lines.
