Here's a second tutorial. Say you have one bigger post you want to break apart, and reply to in different sections of the post.

It's not really much harder than the Multiquote feature, in fact, it's really simple if you get the hang of it.

This video is a bit longer, because I took the time to break down the process for you.. it's about 5-6minutes long.

Basically, once you quote someone's post, you need to copy the whole thing and break it apart, example below.
[noparse]
name;number said:
Text of this person's post;
Text 2 of this person's post;
Text 3 of this person's post
[/noparse]

and then break it apart so it looks like this:

[noparse]
name;number said:
Text of this person's post;
Your reply.

name;number said:
Text 2 of this person's post;
Your reply.

name;number said:
Text 3 of this person's post
Your reply here.

This concludes tutorial #2!
Fire away if you still have questions, privately or publicly, I do not care.
 
What I usually do is look at the post that I want to quote. If it has 3 things I want to comment on, then I will copy the whole thing and paste it again so that there's three.

I thought it was a good movie.

If they used Harrison Ford instead, the movie would be better.

I heard he was one of those taken into consideration, but wonder why he wasn't picked.

I copy and paste the whole thing, then delete parts of each quote as I reply to them. The first reply, I delete "If they used Harrison Ford instead, the movie would be better. I heard he was one of those taken into consideration, but wonder why he wasn't picked." then reply. The second reply, I delete "I thought it was a good movie." and "I heard he was one of those taken into consideration, but wonder why he wasn't picked." then reply. The third reply, I delete "I thought it was a good movie. If they used Harrison Ford instead, the movie would be better." then reply. :)
