Not sure if I worded that very well, so say if you don't understand.

It does. Right next to the Show button it says whose quote it is or whether it's just a quote. It does that for the quote tag, this is a general use [ex][/ex] tag.
It just serves as illustration to show what it looks like. I better don't just change the quote tag for a minute.

This board is a bit 'smarter': it doesn't include old quotes when quoting.

Just me, though. It takes no real effort either way.

I recall there is a multi quote option somewhere.

Multiquote added. Push the new multiquote button for all posts you want to include (it works like a toggle) and then Post Reply.

Enjoy.

Hmm... I tried the multi-quote in a post. Weirdly, it remembered a toggle from anther page at another board (this very page here at the watchtower). Is that intended? It may prove troublesome.
