...how does one report a thread and/or a user?

In the past I've found a few underage users and thought that I should report them. Now there is a post I would like to report (I'm curious as to the reaction
I will get on that!). However, I can't figure out how to do it.

Supposedly there is a button to report a thread. Not on my screen - and I have had a pretty good look. One might think that it belongs in "Thread tools", but it is not there. Nor is it on the thread, where I see only "Post reply", "Quote", "Multi quote" and "Q.R." buttons.

At the end of the thread there are boxes for:
"Advertisements", "Tags" and "Quick reply".
Again, no way to report the thing.

Firefox and IE look the same, so it does not seem to be browser related.

Can someone please help this idiot out?

If you just look to the left of the text. You'll see the little triangle thingy which is how you report on the forum.

Ah yes. Thanks a lot.
Trying not to be too sarcastic, but is the "little triangle thingy" the technical name? I would not have thought of said thingy as a way to report something.

:-) it looks like an Exclamation mark, like: OMG! that is totaly wrong! or UNDERAGE USER!!!

!!!! *grin* :-)
i checked both Firefox and IE, there is mouse over tool tips :-)

I believe it's very similiar to road signs. A warning sign perhaps? When I hover my mouse over it, it says "report post." So I guess it's just the rreport button. I don't know.

Maybe it should be made a little clearer...

Doctor,

I could use my new-found power to report your snide post. But, clearly you have put in a lot of time and effort, and that is admirable. Indeed, I'm flattered. I commend you. You have done a masterful job in baiting me. You truly are a master baiter.

It's a bit confusing. No need to start criticizing people for not seeing it.

I wasn't criticizing; just having a giggle about it

Apologies for it coming across in a mocking way though.
