How do you link to or quote from a Closed thread?

What works for live threads doesn't not work for closed ones.

If a thread has been closed by either a bg or the forum team, you won't be able to comment or quote on that thread I am afraid.

You can link to a closed thread though, ie this is a closed thread here https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4897093/discount-codes-and-vouchers-board-sticky

And here's a link to the first post on that closed thread:

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=64700033&postcount=1

I clicked on the post number at the top right hand corner of the post, it opened in a new screen, and I copied and pasted the link from the 'address bar'(?)

It may not be the way that technical peeps would do it - or explain it - but it works

You can also construct a quote link manually.

Well if I am not mistaken Cornucopia is one of the guys who closes the threads in the first place which is why I am having to ask.
