Oh, nevermind.

No, that's a good question. I don't know, but if there actually is such a site, it's awfully slow to load. I've been waiting for nine hours.

Hope you're doing well!

Hi, walto! 
I'm doing well enough to just be "watched"---which is doing well. Thanks! Hope you're doing well too.

This is an egregiously antisocial, illegal, immoral, obscene, and despicable post! Rrrraahr!
I reported it via the "Report this post" function on the right --- 
. Why? To find out whether that function works. Jazztalk overlords, will you let us know? Thanks.

Nor was there a notification to me that my "report had been dealt with," even though I checked the box to request that notification. (To me, that implies an automatic notification, but how would the software even know who I iz, regardless of whether I signed my name?)
Well, I was about to ask you whether there would be any downside to using that function to notify y'all about issues involving a single post, which seems as if it would be quicker for us than composing a PM to y'all. But I guess there is a downside, for now.

Scott Dolan wrote:OK, did you recieve a notification from your reported post just now?
Yes! Sent at 1:25:57 PM (edit: that's Eastern time)--and it was an e-mail, not a PM, which I wasn't anticipating. I got one e-mail notification re my (first) report, not two.
And what about a notification to you that a report had been submitted? (Should we use this sucker or hold off?)
Edit: I just reported post #90 too, though I'm not sure whether you still wanted me to. It's the second post that I've reported.

I'll also check the phpbb help site to see if there is something I can change to ensure notifications are sent when posts are reported.
But, aside from no notification on the back end, the system works fine.
Thanks, and thanks for the "who I iz" explanation. I for one will keep PMing about single-post issues until I know that you're getting notified of reports. I don't have the temperament to do otherwise. 
With PMs, I know that one of you will see a message soon; a lot of them have time value, or seem to.
But you will see this report from today: bluenoter wrote:Edit: I just reported post #90 too, though I'm not sure whether you still wanted me to. It's the second post that I've reported.
