[Denied] Add the quote button to locked threads.

It has always been an annoyance that you can't quote stuff from locked threads and you have constructed your own custom quote if you choose to attempt to quote one of these threads, it would be nice if quote button was added to them so we can actually quote stuff from these threads.

Support. It would be really useful for section rule threads as you could just quote a certain part instead of providing someone with the link to the thread and just hoping they find the part they were looking for.

When put like this I completely agree given it isnt too much work since here at sythe we approach everything with a “if it aint broke don’t fix it” attitude

 

You can copy text to quote. Works on locked threads.

 

If it's possible, sure. I don't see the harm in adding it if we're able to.

This is a locked thread:
Screen capture - 15caa17a97e2bba4cb7f622e0fe0b309 - Gyazo

it appears on non-locked threads, I was never aware of that before tho, so that kind of nice to figure out

 

[_Hollow_]

If it is possible I will totally SUPPORT
Hope it can be added

 

Support. Some locked threads (official Sythe rules for example) contain very useful posts that can not be quoted now, so it would be nice to see this change implemented.

Can you not do that on a locked thread? Copy the text and quote.
edit: I cant quote locked threads in sections i dont have perms
I support the button being added back in.

I support adding the button too if we can

Fwiw the highlight-to-quote functionality works for me but not in all forums. Like the report section archive doesn't work for some reason, but all other forums I tried just now did.

 

Definitely support if this is something simple, but I'd venture to guess this requires a bit more work, since when you quote it generally would be adding it to a post reply, but you can't reply on those threads.
That said, if it's simple to do, 100% support.

I think the feature you’re thinking of is “reply” and not “quote”

When you quote something it adds it a queue which you can then reply to any thread (that isnt locked) with the quote by clicking the “insert quote” button

I agree with Poat on this particular subject. On a side note, when will some of these suggestions be added to the forum?

 

Yep, support.

 

I was almost certain there was a guide laying around about how this was possible to do with locked threads, but it did require some code editing.

Regardless I'll support, aslong as it doesn't bring in any bugs where people abuse this to post to locked threads or whatever.

 

This Yoshiki guy is highly intelligent.

This would be useful though because I doubt anyone knew about what he posted. I didn't

 

support, I usually copy paste quotes myself. But if its not too much backend work seems like a nice qol update.

 

No support because it won't ever happen due to taking considerable dev time, Richard forgot this site exists and should get around to one of the 40 approved suggestions first before suggesting more things

 

This is not something we're looking to due currently due to the upcoming shift to Xenforo 2, all of our available dev time is going towards that currently.
