Can we ask the developer to make the report icon work?

I'm fed up trying to report spam only to be redirected to the main forum selection page.

And the spam, not being reported, stays there for hours.....

For the record, I check the forum twice a day at least. Spam doesn't stay up for 24 hours EVER.

I reported the reporting function not working but I don't know what happened with it. I'll revisit it...

Yeah I know you're very good a checking it, it wasn't a dig at you.
It's mainly a time difference thing - you're the only moderator, and spam can be there early in the morning in the UK, and still be there in the evening.

I don't expect you to check the forum 5 or 6 times a day, I just wish we had the tool to let you know and report spam or offensive posts. Just a matter of being able to help you really.

I had to laugh this morning when I thought about your post. Even if the report feature was working, a reported post is only going to sit there until I read the report. :mrgreen:

In theory, there are other moderators but I get to everything first....

Ah, I assumed that if the reporting function worked, you would receive an email to let you know. If it depends on you checking into the forum anyway, that is a moot point indeed.

Maybe it goes to an email...? I don't remember if that's how the old software worked.....
