I think the report system (to report objectionable threads) is great, but I noticed that a user does not get obvious confirmation when a report is sent; in fact, the page stays static. Perhaps redirecting to a confirmation page after a report is submitted would be appropriate.

Don't worry, we get the reports Oh wait, I'm not mod anymore. But yeah, don't worry, they get to the moderators... sometimes it's the same friggin report 20 times mhmm... I don't think there's a need for any confirmation.

Maybe you get multiple ones because the user doesn't realize the report has been sent.

Yeah, a "thank you, your report has been sent." message would be nice. Sometimes, people freak out and click on the report button many times because they think their computer is messed up.

just make a topic and pm the mod to let them know.

Make a topic ? Uhh nooo.


You mean you guys don't see this after you send a report ?

I do not, but that's precisely what I thought I should see.

I sent a report, and that's what I got.

I don't see that either.

I see it. See, it's already there. No need for this topic.

Topic Closed

Test it here. I think I'm the only one that gets reports from this subforum.

I tried it out Eve and I get the same thing you did...

hey i got it, too. if nobody minds, can i try it out in the lounge? the last time i reported in the lounge, i didn't get the message.

haha... this is why the mods get annoyed when they get pointless reports.

why dont we make a thing so when someone trys to report a topic that someone else has already reported, it says "sorry this topic has already been reported"?

It reports posts, thought, not topics.

..Is that why I always get like five copies of each report?

[edit]



I just tested it, and that's what I saw too.

Probably. Looks like I'm the only one who gets reports here. Cool.

hey hey. cut it out. *delets report pms*

Admins get PMs too, now ?

Admins get reports depending on where the report is... Often I get reports when it pertains to the announcements section. In this case, Brianna clicked it (I apologize for mentioning your name, Brianna!) and since it's in the Feedback forum under the Announcements sectiom, I received it.

Wait so you guys do get a notification that the report is sent.. Unless they get errors or something.. which happens occassionally. To those who said they didn't see it.. I'm confused.. perhaps your computer loaded too fast where it that page (which Yvonne screenshot-ed) only appeared for a split second? Dunno.

The confirmation pages on IPB are generally designed to stay on the screen for a few seconds before the redirect takes effect; I don't think it just popped up too fast. Perhaps there is a bug in the script, but I definitely do not see the confirmation page, and I definitely do not get redirected to the thread I was in.

i repeat, can i try a random report out in the lounge if nobody minds?

Uhm.. you can. Just mention it in your report. Or something. Only one though! xD

i sent one -- i didn't get a confirmation report. the screen just stayed the same, so i wasn't sure if i should click the submit button again. yes i'm 100% sure i didn't get the confirmation. was the report sent through?

Ahh you're right, I just sent one and.. it was weird. I thought I was lagging. I wonder if it does that in the design forums too..

Edit// ..Same thing happened.
