How do I report threads?

#1 Post by thewanderer »

As in thread subject, how do I report threads? Can't see a button for it.
I feel that I browse the forums often enough to be made a SpamHunter. I'd be glad to move away all that spam that came today, but am unable to :(

Left from "quote" button you'll see an exclamation mark (!); that's 'Report this post'.
:shock:

Apparently it doesn't work in all phpbb themes. The blue one (can't recall its name) doesn't contain the exclamation mark, I think.

I just tried all available themes and every one of them has the report button. The most problematic one is Hestia, which has a very small and transparent report button - not very usable. Maybe you were thinking about that theme. All other themes have the report button nicely visible, one just need to know that it's an exclamation mark.

When a spammer suddenly posts 20 new spam messages, it would be much faster and easier to be able to report the spammer's profile, instead of having to open each spam thread and report it individually.

One report is sufficient. We see who it is in the list of reports and can find all the posts in the profile. No need to report all twenty posts.
