e4ymod Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Has anyone here ever wondered why there is a "Report!" button for your own post? Who the hell is going to report themselves. It's something really petty, but it bothers the hell out of me (kinda like the cut corner on the top right hand side of the page). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted August 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 2, 2004 Every post gets a report button, regardless of who's post it is or who's viewing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 it's easier for the ipb system. its the post that gets the report button. admins see those buttons too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Diego Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Every post gets a report button, regardless of who's post it is or who's viewing it. I think he understands that but he simply ponders the reason why IPB put it there in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted August 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 2, 2004 I think he understands that but he simply ponders the reason why IPB put it there in the first place. Because it's easier to code "ALL posts get a report button for everyone to see" than it is to code "a post only gets a report button if 1. the viewer is not a moderator/admin, 2. the viewer is not viewing his/her own post, and 3. the user is too stupid to know the difference between the report button and the quote button." I really wish IPB would work on the last one :whistle: :argh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted August 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 2, 2004 They are separate in IPB 2.0, and in our Lite skin (I coded it like that). The quoting buttons have been moved to where the up arrow is and the report button has stuck where it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
