New ability to "multi quote".

We have added a new extension to the forum. By clicking on the 'double talk' bubble on the right side of each post, you can capture that post and quote it (and multiple posts) to your new post.
Here's a better explanation that I can give:
This extension enables you to highlight (select) parts of posts and quote only that highlighted part. It works similar to the quoting function in the topic review when you are on the posting page.
Once you have selected a part of a post, a floating quote button appears near your cursor. Clicking that new button does the magic. When quick reply is enabled, the quote BBcode is inserted in the QR textarea. Otherwise, you'll be taken to the posting.php page just like with hitting the regular quote button but with only the highlighted part of the post.
A second feature is multi-quoting. You can tick a new multiquote button on each post. When you have selected one or more posts to quote, a floating quote button appears in the bottom right corner. Clicking that button takes you to the posting screen as with regular quoting but now you have multiple posts quoted in your message textarea.
The multi-quote option works over multiple pages in a topic and even multiple topics.

someone quote my quote
Seems to work, but it took a bit to find the pop-up window on the bottom right of my screen. Now that I know...
Thanks Gordon!

It turns out that the "Multi Quote" extension was causing some problems so it has been removed.
phpBB has a built in multi quote system that works well.
Here's how you do "multi quotes".
Reply to 1 post (with or without quote), scroll down the page and you can see all of the posts in that topic, choose a post, select text , and use the quote - image (top left in a post could be on the right based on which style you are using). Repeat as necessary.
Only the current view-topic page is available for this but that should be enough in most cases. If more is needed manual copying remains possible.
