Quote from locked thread.

Boston

It would be handy to be able to quote posts from locked threads.

Mr Magnolia

Not the feature you're looking for but if you copy and paste the username, post number and text content into the quote tags it will work.

A lot of hassle if you want to quote multiple posts.

Mr Magnolia

It certainly would be, yes.

We're pretty unlikely to add this feature. The point of locking threads is to prevent further replies so adding this wouldn't make a lot of sense IMHO.

Ah but not all threads are locked for that reason. Example being charter thread. Also some old threads are locked due to information being out of date, but some of it might still be relevant.

Indeed, but the majority are locked to prevent people replying and since we have no way of allowing quotes from one type of locked thread and not from another then we're going to leave it as-is.

If/when we add explicit functionality for charters and old threads we might revisit this.
