What happened to the Flag/Report Post feature?

I need to edit a thread title of my other post.

though you may be referring to the fact that you can’t report your own posts. See if it’s there for mine.

vB giveth and vB taketh away; they decided you shouldn’t be allowed to report your own posts. We can’t turn it back on. Sorry.

FYI to Tuba, Ed, Jerry, et al.: Christian Forums just upgraded to the newest vBulletin release (although their Webmaster, Dr. Erwin Loh, has tweaked the vBB intensely). That version, whose number I could not find on the site, **does** allow members to report their own posts. However, it is also extremely buggy, so I’m not recommending upgrading for the near future. But useful info. for the tech team nonetheless.

Thanks, good to know.

We’re not Early Adopters as a general rule, so this is not going to be a problem, but still useful information.
