If you have 3 answers to your question, how do you answer each one individually.
I can presently only answer the last one on it's own.
Also, how do you use quote in a reply?
Thanks and best wishes.

As pointed out, you can quote and reply — but if you want to answer several posts "individually" there are two practical ways to do it and a few things to watch for.

Post a separate reply under each answer

  • Use the per-post control (the small Reply/Quote link under the specific post) so your reply is clearly tied to that poster. If the editor prefills a quote you do not want, simply delete it and post normally. Repeat for each answer you want to treat as a separate reply.

Address multiple replies in a single, clearly structured post

  • Gather the short excerpts you need (multi-quote or copy/paste), then label and answer them one by one. Example label style: Reply to @Username: followed by the quoted excerpt and your reply. Keep each quoted excerpt minimal so the thread stays readable.

Quick troubleshooting when quoting behaves oddly (this addresses ’s “only the last one” issue)

  • The select-to-quote and multi-quote features rely on JavaScript. If selection-based quoting only captures the last selection, try enabling JavaScript, disabling privacy/AdBlock extensions, or switching browsers. Mobile browsers sometimes hide controls; try desktop view. If everything else fails, copy the text and wrap it with the board’s quote markup.

Common quote formats you can try (use whichever the board supports):

> This is a quoted line   (Markdown-style)
[quote]This is a quoted line[/quote]   (BBCode-style)

Keep replies short, label which poster you’re answering (use @Usernames as shown), and quote only the few lines necessary. This makes it clear which reply you’re addressing and keeps the thread tidy.

I quote each on in a single post, in the order that they appeared.

You can quote one of three ways:

  1. Select the text you want to quote and click inside the reply box. The text will be pasted and quoted automagically.
  2. Manually paste the text with a Markdown quote tag.
  3. Use the quote button on the reply editor.

The easiest is the auto-quote, but it's kind of quirky right now. It takes some getting used to. ;)
