    Default How to report a problem post (notice: possibly wide and large pictures)

    This is a guide to show how to use the "Report A Post" button.

    Step 1: Make sure you are logged in. Click the report button. The following picture has the location and design of every report button this site uses. The Blue Grey one is in bottom left, as is the Sunset. The Cherry Coke one is in the top right. The button is always attached to the post. Be sure to click the correct report button, otherwise the problem may be ignored.

    Step 2: Give a very short description of the problem. (You'll see why in a minute.)

    Step 3: This is what we see. Notice that the thread title is the forum and is the same as the content of the problem's description. The shorter and accurate the description, the quicker we know what it is.

    Step 4: Once we click the thread, this is what is posted inside. It restates the reason the post was reported, a copy of the message reported, and who posted it. The assigned moderators is essentially useless. The post also includes a link to the post that was reported.

    Step 5: A Moderator handles the situation, and posts in the thread to indicate that it has been taken care of. This almost always includes the action(s) taken.

    You might want to have pictures to show the report button for other skins as well. I'm sure if there was a need to have a guide on how to report it might be required to show people what the other report buttons look like.

    For example: The classic themes have a little button that looks like a TV in the top right corner of the post. That has absolutely nothing to do with reporting anything, and is probably only going to confuse people more.

    EDIT:

    The report button on Classic and Sky Blue themes looks like this


    While the report button for Aquatech, Neudaiz Springtime, and Sunset themes look like this.

    So, this was the reason.
    I get it now.
