@jacmac
If you want to hotlink a
specific post from 2.0, find the post and click on the Private Message icon (the 'speech bubble' underneath their avatar image) on the left of screen for that post's author (including yourself!).
This will open a PM screen with the entire post quoted and a direct hotlink at the top. Copy the hotlink and/or the portion you want to quote and paste it in your 3.0 thread.
This is what I have been using to quote/hotlink specific posts from the 2.0 board because, being read-only, 2.0 boards will not allow the use of the normal "quote" icon.
It's easier than that, JP. To reference a particular post from v2.0, just right-click on the heading of that particular post, select "Copy link address". Then in your v3.0 post, just paste the copied link address from your clipboard, and enclose it with url tags.
From a recent post:

this! which is a post in a HUGE long thread from 2014, halfway down the page.
To quote:
In this case, I have simply copied the text from the post, up to and including "Post by MattEU » Thu Dec 04, 2014 2:59 am", pasted it into my new post, and then highlighted the part of the post I wanted to quote (or the lot, if necessary) and enclose the highlighted bit in quote tags (the
" next to underline) and hey presto, you have a quote with author and time/date stamp. The image does not show, it's replaced with the word "Image".

Sort of related and hope this helps but when you have mist over the water you can get mist devils or stream devils

One person noticed that the mist devils are stronger near the shore and he spotted them mostly in the still mornings.[/quote]
