Michael Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Would it be possible (in a future version, of course, unless it's something you can throw in easily enough) to make the 'report a post' feature use the javascript popup class? If you go into a topic and report the post, when you hit 'back' you get directed back to the page that actually sends the report, and the report gets sent again. If you could just popup a form where you could report the post, the 'back' button will then really go back again. Maybe I'm crazy, but I thought that the preview board did do it in a popup way back when.
chasz Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 if u click the back button then you are removed from the normal process. there should be a cookie setting to prevent reporting multi times?
bfarber Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I like the idea overall. Note that when you report a post, it should take you back to that post (no need to click back to get there) for the record.
Tarun Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 When IP.B3 was alpha I could have sworn people asked for an ajax report feature much like Michael mentions.
bfarber Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Quite possibly. When IPB3 was in alpha people asked for all sorts of things. ;)
chasz Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 people really need to stop calling it popup, since it does not pop up OUT of the page LOL

I click back because I want to go back to the search results that brought me to this topic in the first place. ;)
AndyF Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 +1 I like the idea of the Report Post being a pop-up , the same way clicking in topic view will bring you to a popup to send a quick message to that member :)

Thankfully I can hit command (ctrl on windows) and open the full editor in a new window :)
AndyF Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Oh, I'm not always keen on it for the Messenger, I'm about 50/50 on using that and using the full one (depends on what I am posting about really, a quick message is fine but for details I tend to use the full one), but I think for reporting posts (where typically you will not need any extras such as BBCode etc) that pop-up is ideal :)

skysober Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I still enjoy the mod that allows me to set which member levels can even USE the report a post. Nothing irks me more than a noob trial member who pulls the 'fire alarm' thinking it is a reply to the post button... My Report-a-post not only alerts all mods and admins, but sends a text message to my cell phone... Keeping out sites safe and legal is always a priority. But a 'pop-out' (no matter what it is called, it is still is perceived as one), would be very welcome.
Michael Posted November 24, 2010 Author Posted November 24, 2010 Friendly bump, I would really like to see this feature added at some point. On this site, I always use the Today's Active Content search to find topics to respond to. From that list, I often go into a topic, find I have to report it (wrong forum, for example), and the report form bumps me back to the topic when it is complete. But the act of pulling up the report form and submitting it are new full pages that the browser accesses, so I can't just use the Back button anymore to get back to the page I was on before coming into the topic. If clicking the Report button opened in an ajax popup like the PM button on the profile card, the report could be submitted without having to leave the page, and the Back button would still work as expected.
Ozpicious Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Another thumbs up on this one, definitely would make a good addition/option
