Quoting Forum Posts

[SFC (Ret) George]

In the past, I've been able to quote posts in Command Announcements, and at the Battalion and Company levels, for passing on to my squad.  Today I noticed I don't have that ability anymore (quote option is not showing).  Has something changed?  Is it just me?

Just you, everything works fine for me.

If the thread or topic is locked you are unable to quote.
I think...

^This.

Yes, I think that's it.  I wanted to quote Capt Hayes' recent post on respect to my squad but now I see it is locked.  Same with the one from the company HQ I wanted to forward.

Don't forget you can always manually quote something using the quote tags.

You can also fudge it a bit by using this url:

post;quote=16329 is the post you want to quote, topic=3235.0 would be the topic to quote it into (which is this topic), although the attributing link will be off.
(You can fix that by modifying the link=topic=3235 in the premade quote block to the actual topic ID, in this case 3202.)

Might just be easier to copy and paste it manually like 1LT Blake mentioned.
