Confused on how to use Multiquote efficiently.

[WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444]

When I want to quote & reply to more than one post in a topic while keeping my post in a single message box, my attempts fail if the posts to be quoted are on different pages. Example, I clicked "Multiquote" for a post on page 5 and entered my comment below it. Then I browsed ahead to page 6, where I found another post I wanted to comment on. Again, I clicked "Multi," but ended up in a new entry box, not the first where I'd already quoted/commented. In search of the first and not wanting to risk losing the second, I clicked "Post new topic," then learned that my original quote/comment had disappeared.

How to keep all in one box? Can it be done if I'm quoting from different pages of a lengthy topic? There are times when I get a Multi combo to appear all together, but perhaps those are the times when each quoted post was on the same page as the others?

What device where you using? I can do everything with my laptop, this site is just buggy with my kindle, and just this morning I couldn't post a new topic in the ladies room with my phone, so I cut and pasted it to the lounge.

When I multiquote, I pick all the quotes first, and then insert my replies. I think I have only done this from my laptop.

Thanks, CJ. I'll try lining up all the quotes first and then inserting, as you do. I'm on laptop only, Windows 7, browser Firefox (if that's relevant here).
