Clearing multi-quotes

[shesulsa]

Is there a quick-and-dirty way to clear your previously selected multi-quotes in a thread? It's particularly a problem in megathreads with over 100 posts and one must painstakingly search out each previous quote to un-check.

As it stands now, when I reply to a thread (even without quoting) wherein I've used the multi-quote feature previously, those same quotes get quoted in my reply field again every time I reply, even if I only ever selected them once.

This makes long discussions tedious.

Suggestions? Fix? Perhaps a Clear All Quotes link?

Once I've hit quote and replied they are cleared. You shouldn't need to go back later and clear them.

The quote feature doesn't do this for me, just the multi-quote.

Let's see if I can reproduce here. This is the first post in this thread where I used multi-quote on every existing post. Next I will try to only Reply To Thread.

Okay - I only hit Reply to Thread but noticed all the multi-quote options on the posts I previously selected are still selected.

This is the second Reply to Thread with no quote selected.

Okay, this is interesting because I continue to get the multi-quotes I previously used posting on every reply in the Trayvon thread - I have to clear them as I compose my reply.

It happens to me as well. If I multi quote posts, and then move on to something else, the new post, in addition to the multi quoted ones, are also included. I have to physically go back and unselect whatever I multi quoted.

testing, posts 6,7,8 checked, hit reply with quote

6,7,8 checked, hit reply

In both cases after I hit reply things were properly cleared. Using Firefox on OSX.

I did some digging and there looks to have been an older bug they claim fixes that would do what you say is happening if the selected posts are on different pages.

I can't duplicate it on my end.

Running Firefox 11.0 on Windows 7.

I'm still on FF 10. I think my wife upgraded, will test again on her system.

Just did it again with both my latest replies to that thread - had to delete the quotes before posting.

That's okay, I went through the thread and unchecked all those I checked for multiquote.

Thanks for checking.
