Links in quotes

Simple little edit.

 

Sometimes, people quote things said pages before.

 

To save yourself the trouble, would it be easier that when you click the 'quote' button, it automatically generates a link back to the original post so you can click to go back to it?

It should already do this, there's a little curly arrow that should link you back to the original post

The one thing that would nice is to be able to quote a post from a locked thread (this has more relevance in the SE subforum, where there is often need to refer to locked threads)

Ahh you wish to be able to generate quotes over different threads easily (particularly on locked ones) hmmmmm. Well if you are desperate and willing to do some bbcode and manual work, then inside the opening {quote} tag (with [] instead of {}) insert {quote name="user" post="id"}Hoid is a fish{/quote}, the name should be some suitable user name, the post id should be the long number at the end of the share link (you can see it by hovering over the post number in the top left corner, wait for the url to load then copy the number from the end, or click the post number and extract it from the link itself).

Alternatively, I'm sure there should be a way of inserting a raw url into the top of a quote to link to that thing.
