The links above can help you quote a post from a locked thread. This is what I do since in my opinion, this is much easier and it won't take too long to do this but there are other ways to quote a locked thread but this one that I shared is for those who doesn't want to use program or an add-ons. All you need to do is go to the thread or post that you wanted to quote and in every post there is a number shown next to +merit or a title. If you click the quote where there is a link it will redirect you to that thead.
You have to right click the #number and copy link which would look like this.

[quote + auother here/link]the post[/quote]
Third, I paste the link and the post. Example, this post is from. Nutilda's post and the thread is locked right now.
Result:
Hello achievers and would-be achievers,
I was trying to make good on the delivery of some outstanding merits and keep running into this message:
You can only send 50 merit to a given user per 30 days. You have already sent 50 merit to that user.
Its been more than 30 days for some of you so I don't know what's up.
Thanks to an unexpected and generous donation by Sir Theymos, the Bitcointalk Urban Merit Achievers Scholarship Program is happy to announce they are now accepting new applications. Please read the first post for application details.
No re-application is necessary.
We have your information already.
We'll call you if something opens.
Seriously.
