Report trade advert confirmation
balidey - 31/7/09 at 01:24 PM

You know the 'Is this a TRADE ADVERTISMENT?? Click HERE to report it!' banner?
Well I cilcked on a for sale thread, it wasn't loading, so I refreshed the page, then clicked in the window. Guess where my mouse was? Yep, right over the 'click here' text. So I have accidentally reported someones advert as trade, even though its not.

Rather than this click go straight to the 'thanks for reporting it' screen, would it be possible for it to need a confirmation click?

I have U2U'ed Fozzie to explain this and delete any report I may have issued. But if I can do it once, then someone else can do it.

Infact, is there any figures to show how many times that report button has been used? It may not even be used by anyone at all.

to quote douglas adams:

dont panic!

itll only drop a message to fozzie/chris for them to check, they'l lsee its not trade and thats the end of it.

this is the first ive heard mention of it, so its not at all common

Don't panic Mr Mannering..... (phonetic spelling for effect!)

It happens...

We always check the 'reported' link anyway......

No harm done...
