So the story is @wandagoner found the line of code that got changed in discourse to make this possible. After I looked at the line, I knew exactly why we couldn’t do it
The secret is to not use another browser tab
So if you leave your reply box open, use the search at the top to find the closed thread, or navigate to it in the same window without using the browser’s URL field, then highlight the post and click “Quote” then it will work as long as the composer box is open in the same browser tab.
In the noob thread it’s easy to navigate there, just click outside the compose box and press the Home key on the keyboard, then click the link in the first post to the old noob thread.

Just wanted to voice my opinion that since batteries are “by far the biggest” diy challenge of esk8. Could we possibly add a “Battery Builds” category. It would help to see the process of a properly built battery as a self contained thread rather than having to dig through the rather diluted battery builders thread.
Just a thought
