    Having just forgotten what I was reporting, it would be nice if the post content we were reporting was somewhere on the Report Post page. Like underneath.

    Thanks,

    Well, it would be possible... just not sure how useful it is for the amount of work required to do it.

    I started to do it and after about 10m, I started thinking... maybe this really isn't worth having to make template changes (and redo them every vBulletin upgrade), create a bunch of plug-ins to make it work properly (which are always stored in memory even if they aren't being used [pages other than report.php]), etc... so I think I'm gonna skip it for now... Sorry. :)

    Not a problem. Thanks for checking.

    When I report a post, I always try to include specifics if needed. In this case, I needed the domain that the poster was spamming. I already had something in the clipboard so I couldn't copy and paste something else.

    Thanks again,
    -drmike

    i use firefox and i'm able to open links in a new tab, i suggest you do that so you can view the post your reporting while you report it.

    Very familiar with Firefox and the tab feature. I currently have over 50 tabs open. Gets hard finding stuff going between tabs.

    Well three Page Downs to get to the bottom of the list.

    Thanks though for the suggestion.

    When you report a post, us moderators can see the post content along with the report reason. So it suits us nicely :)
