No, seriously...
To do a multi quote, there is a button right next to the "Quote" button on the bottom right of the poster's post. It's a "+" sign. Press the + once and in a second or two, it will turn red and be a "-" sign. Now, all you have to do is press as many of these as you want, and it'll have all of those quotes in the reply function.
So, just in case I confused you, go to a thread, hit all the "+" signs you want in the multi quote, and in the order you want them to appear, and they will turn red and become "-" signs. Press the "Post Reply" button and you can now respond to all the quotes you just put in.
I hope this helps.

Haha. Works pretty good.
see what i did was hit the ""+ icon for the first two quotes and then hit the quote button for the last quote i wanted to refer to... and it works just fine!

and like magic,,,,,,
The quotes get arranged depending on the order that you click the "Multi-Quote" buttons, too.

Problem Solved
Thanks Stone Cold.
It turns out I was doing it correctly every time I'd tried on any vBulletin forum.
I just thought it gave the ability to quote multiple separate paragraphs within the same post. Alas, it does NOT give a way to do this at all, just quotes from different posts in the same thread.
So every time I see someone picking apart one post by a user in multiple quotes they are breaking it up manually themselves?
Less useful than I thought it would be but better than nothing.

Re: Problem Solved
Yes, as far as I know, you have to pick the quote apart manually. I don't see how the software could possibly know which section of a quote you would want...so have fun with it.
And that is why I put this:
in my instructions!!

There is one aviation forum that I have had an account on for 8 years and it does allow it BUT it is HTML and I think it takes them quite a bit of time to make changes to it, whereas this vBulletin format makes it simple for those in charge (which is obviously desirable).Yes, as far as I know, you have to pick the quote apart manually.

Re: Problem Solved
It's really not that difficult to split a post up. You just need to add the [ quote ] and [ /quote ] tags where you want the splits.
