I can't grasp how to pick a line out of a post and then make a quote under it using the multi-quote icon and I don't see instructions anywhere on the site.

The multi-quote is used when more than one post is quoted.

Quoting a single line, or paragraph, or any portion of a quote isn't done with multi-quote. That's just done with you erasing whatever words, sentences, or portions of a quoted post you don't want included in the quoted post, like I did to your quote above. All I did was delete whatever part I didn't want to have quoted.

I notice what you do Brent, for the part of the quote you want to respond to, you make it bold.

Instead of making that part bold, just erase everything before it, and everything after it, so that the only part that remains is the part you want quoted.

You split the post up into sections and start each section with the -bracket QUOTE username post number end bracket - code as you see at the beginning of the quoted text. At the end of the particular line use- bracket / QUOTE end bracket - to identify the end of the quoted text. Repeat for each section of text to quote. Copy and past the begin quote code with username and post number for convenience, and just type in the end quote code when needed. You can use multi quote and add separate user quotes also.This is BB or HTML code.
