I thought about reporting a post but then can’t find the “report this post” button. Is this missing in action? Discontinued? Or am I having a massive brain fart and it’s right on the page somewhere obvious

It’s the red triangular icon in the upper right corner.

Unless it’s your own post. For some reason the vBulletin software thinks there’s no reason why someone would ever want to report their _own_ post. If it is, just report the post right above it and say “I’m actually reporting my own post, which is the post right below this one; please fix my coding”.
