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.
