No person sees the button on any of his or her own posts. In other words, you’re not alone. This is a “feature” new to the current version of vBulletin, like the lack of nested quotes. Apparently, the programmers decided that there was no need for one to report one’s own posts, and thought it would be convenient to go to extra effort to make it impossible.
