Hey all. I'm new here and still learning how things work but I have a slight problem..
On noticing my transition between 'Newbie' and 'Junior Member', I observed that I can now "use" the 'Report Offensive Post' button.. (what purpose it serves I'm not so sure, but I can pick that up later)
Anyway, on clicking it, I merely get directed back to the forum index.. Is that what is supposed to happen or is it a glitch?
Please enlighten me and/or fix it, if indeed it needs fixing ;-)
Tnx.

krkm120, your sig is ~2 kb over the limit. the limit is 50 kb, not 50kb +/- whatever. mods do get annoyed at this.
phlax, when you hit the offensive post button, you should get taken to a page where you type in the reason the post is offensive and then click a button to be redirected to the thread. you don't get this at all? have you cleared your cookies?

Oh I see Auslander..
Well, my browser (FireFox, latest - 2.0.0.7) clears all cookies etc on closure, and I've been on and off the PC all day, to no avail RE this problem though.
A glitch in the forum code, maybe?

Make sure your logged in. :P
Anyway, I've never had a problem with it. I am using Firefox 2.0.0.7 in Windows XP Pro.
The "Offensive post" simply shows the Mods which post to go check out and fix any problem that needs fixed, such as too big of a signature or a member "flaming" another member.
I am not sure but I assume its similar to the "Link to this post" button, except it also has some sort of "Description" (what you type in the reason you reported the post) so the Mods know exactly what post needs to be addressed.
For example, the link to the first post on this thread is:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/565267/3417829
Maybe you have spyware on your computer. :P

I'm very sure I'm logged in. I'm also sure my PC is 99% clean, I like to keep a tight ship running ;-)
I don't know what it is..
Maybe an Admin might be able to show up and confirm it?
BTW, the linking to posts works just fine.

er, god dammit...reading comprehension ftw! >.>
considering your information, i'd say it's just a junior member thing, mate. knowing you, however, i'd say you'll be a member before long.

No worries, there's always other subjects like Physics and Maths one could be good at, who needs English?!
And thank you for the kind words, although I don't know how you can be so sure of me :-)
I'm sure the problem will be remedied at some point..

If one were a very proud Englishman, one might take offense to you calling one's language "slang".. But I'm not, so it's alright :-P

Perhaps you failed to scroll down the page after you pushed the offensive post report button and after you were redirected to the post in question.

People, why does virtually every thread have to turn into a chatroom.. you don't see me filling up pages of threads with unnecessary banter..
(i'd gone for a nap then my email notification kept beeping at me..)
..how 'bout we let the Admins comment on the original post and leave it at that..

Auslander is correct, that's not the problem.
And yes creaky, that sounds like a good idea.
