I’ve noticed an annoying problem when reporting bad posts. After clicking the ! to report the post, we’re taken to a new page to type in a description of the problem. All fine and good, but I want to see a copy of the post I’m reporting. It’s irksome to have to flip back and forth to remember the specifics.
Can we have a copy of the reported post appear below the edit field? Similar to what we get when typing a reply.
Unfortunately, we do not modify the board software. While technically this could be done, it won’t, because doing so would void the support agreement and create headaches while upgrading to newer versions.
I can understand your problem, 'coz while modding I usually have multiple windows open to post to and then I forget which was to be moved where or who gets which warning. Plus you should see the fun when another mod comes in and moves a thread or posts a warning while I’m trying to do the same
To report your own post, just report a post immediately above or below it and mention so in the report. Won’t work if you’re the OP with no replies though.
Alternatively, highlight and copy (right click > copy; or, control-c) the post into your ‘clipboard’ (temporary space in computer memory) then click on [!]. Then paste the post from the clipboard in the message box (right click > paste; or, control-v) to the admins. (Do them a favor and edit down to the salient point if it’s too long.)
