Thank you WDE, that's an incredibly useful link! I didn't even know there was an FAQ section, that looks interesting too

Definitely a helpful link.

Out of curiosity, WDE, how does one navigate to that 'BB Code List' article without a direct link? (AKA, where did you find it??)

I looked at the FAQ section and couldn't find a link to that particular section anywhere.

FAQ>Reading and Posting Messages>Posting New Messages>How do I Format My Posts and Messages?

The last paragraph in that section is:

BB code is a special set of codes similar to HTML that can be used in posts to the board. To see the full list of BB code tags that can be used on this site and examples of their use, click here.

Use that "click here" to get to BB Code List. Very well hidden.

Note: there may be other, and more direct, routes to get the the How do I format my posts and messages? FAQ.

or, if I'm not mistaken, just click the normal "quote" button for the last post you want to quote (after having clicked the "multiquote" for the others).

I've always used the method Jelby uses, didn't even know Zelda's method existed. And once again, you can learn something new everyday, here at MobileRead.
