    Now i realise ihave to click the multiquote button when i fnid something i want to relpy to and then just continue reading and clicking if i want to reply!
    I don't know if it's just me, but I actually find it often easier to read the posts that made a quote in the way Ant just described, especially when the poster is responding to multiple topics.

    My perceived difficulty is steming from the way a single post becomes crowded and confusing with multiple topics.

    When the poster wants to respond to different topics, it is often easier for me to follow when the poster makes back-to-back posts with single quotes, rather than making multi-quotes of different topics within the same post.

    I totally respect the decisions made by GS admin and moderators; but this is how I sometimes felt about this rule. I am wondering if the rule could be applied at a case-by-case basis with some flexibility.

    When it comes to flexibility, I am Sasha Cohen and Toni is Caroline Zhang.

    Thanks, MM.

    No, "Toni" still will have countless chances and so would "MM" because she/he might return to the competitive career

    Or you could say that Caroline's whole flexibilty is based around her desire to be a Sasha Cohen wannabe...if you follow that logically from MM's post then you would actually be an MM wannabe!

    I have always done this by accident than by design. It especially happens if I am tired and it is late at night. What really frustrates me at the moment though is sometimes my replies disappear because I have to keep logging on for each topic. If I don't save what I have typed, it's gone. Am I doing something wrong?

    Try checking the Remember Me box at login, Lad.

    It should not work the way you describe.
