Nashville March 28, 2019 Share March 28, 2019 When in the editor a “box” of quoted post is split into two or more separate subsections and the quoted post’s “topmost” section is deleted, the quoted poster info will appear at the top of each subsection in the editing draft - but doesn’t necessarily show up in the published post. Example: Link to comment

Nashville April 3, 2019 Author Share April 3, 2019 I’ve used that method on single-post quotes, but not on multi-quotes harvested from s span of several pages. I’ll give it a try. Link to comment
