How do you quote someone on a locked thread?

[Groovy]

I've been trying to figure this out but can't, any help?

You can’t unless you’re a mod. You can, however, do a copy/paste of the text, place it in “quote” brackets [ ] and then tag the person who made the quote. If you want to keep a reference to the original post, you can link to individual posts too by using the link from the date and time at the top of each post.

If you type this:

[quote author="@themaxonline" source="/post/8410060/thread"] type or paste text here [/quote]

It turns into this:

clicking 'source' will take you to the quoted post, so you don't have to add a separate link to it in your own post.

Just click the 'reply #' link that is next to the time stamp for the post you want to quote, and put the seven-digit number that is at the end of the url where you see the digits in the code above; put the original poster's tag name behind the @.
