1. You can't.

2. You can't. Or you could tag every single game with it's price. But still then you couldn't sort them. You only would be able to search for all games with a certain price.

No such functionality on GOG yet. Use ([url=http://www.an-ovel.com/cgi-bin/magog.cgi?ver=521&scp=gdspu&dsp=ipgfsorlmba&ord=p0&flt=&opt=&myf=TueJun21043512015_PEDTzVLnS0QXS]games sorted by price)

Thanks both!

Regarding 3. The Gog forum does it automatically if you post and repost within 10 minutes (without anybody else posting at that time).
I believe you can use barefoot_essentials_2_gogcom_enhancement to do this manually as well.
Multi-quote is no problem. To quote anything manually, you just gotta use the tags. If I were to manually quote something (not using the Reply button, I would need the opening quote tag, the content, and the closing tag. I'm going to space things out a bit so it doesn't try to quote something:

[ quote] <copy-paste the content> [ /quote]

Just remove the space after the bracket. That will generate a generic, non-attributed quote such as
The quick brown for jumps over the lazy red dog
If I want to manually quote PaterAlf, then I need to alter the first tag:

[ quote_2] <copy-paste the content> [ /quote]

Again, remove the spaces. The "_2" bit is what puts in the mini-avatar and also links it back to the original post. Note that if you put in the wrong number, it will show the wrong avatar and link to the wrong post. To find the number manually, look to the right of the avatar pic and hover your mouse over that top line. Just to the right of "Posted 3 hours ago" will appear both a link and a number. The number is the one you put after 'quote_'. If you hover over the link, you can right-click and Copy Link Location in case you want to link that post. This is often used if someone wants to link a specific post from an entirely different thread.

Now, you can quote down through two levels. If I were to manually quote JMich's reply to you along with your original post, it would look like:

[ quote_3]
[ quote_1] <the content you typed>
[ /quote]
<the content he typed in reply to you>
[ /quote]

If someone were to subsequently quote my post in which I quote JMich who first quoted you, then your content would disappear since that would be a third level of nested quotes.

IIRC if you manually build the quotes, the user quoted gets no notification, while hitting the "Reply" button (or "Quick reply in Barefoot Essentials") generates a notification (if the GOGbears are in the mood).
Good point. Well, at the least it's a primer for fixing messed-up quote (and tag) formatting...

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation! Too bad the users won't get any notifications if you quote manually.

Where have you been the last 15 months, in cryostasis?
I've seen necromanced threads before, but a necromanced user? That's a new one.
