If you want to see your "test style", click on "test style" in the list of styles. That will open up a new window (tab) with your site in that style. You can then go to a thread and see if the button is there. For you to then go back and see your default style, click on the name of your default in that list of styles (or go to the User CP of the site, select default and hit Save).

You said you had "Multi-Quote Enabled" set to Yes. What about the option right under that "Multi-Quote Quote Limit"? Have you looked in the source code of the page to see if multi-quote is supposed to be there but the image link it broken?

thanks. OK, so when I view the test style, multi-quote is there. My rotating banners at the top of the forum no longer show on the test style. I think I'm going to start from scratch with this "test style," get it right, and then put it in place. There's something in the default style that has the multi-quote messed up.
On the Multi-Quote Limit, it's set at 0. I believe that means there is no limit, right?

OK, looking at the postbit and postbit_legacy template...it looks like I've customized it at some point. I'm sure I borked it up.
here's what I found for the multiquote in the code:

<if condition="$show['multiquote_post']">
<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow" onclick="return false"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/multiquote_<if condition="$show['multiquote_selected']">on<else />off</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[multi_quote_this_message]" border="0" id="mq_$post[postid]" /></a>


I'm not sure where the path to the image is...I have trouble reading this.

I found it! the multiquote code was missing from postbit_legacy. thanks so much! I'm on the right track.
