Unable to report posts

[Echohawk]

Actually, a more accurate title would be "unsure if I'm able to report posts".

When attempting to report a post, once I click submit, I get rerouted to:
http://www.enworld.org/forum/report.php?do=sendemail

Which then displays the message: "You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:" etc.

I'm not sure if the report was submitted prior to me reaching this point, or if the "report post" functionality as a whole is broken.

On your account setting page, near the bottom , there is a chart with tabs and one tab says "recent threads" - if you click on that, does it show a "reported post" around the date/time that you reported that post?

if so, then it went through prior to your error message. if not, then possibly not.

I've just had a good look around the settings page, but I can't seem to find a "recent threads" tab anywhere. There's that "Newsfeed" thing, which shows a list of my recent activities; and that doesn't show a reported post. Would a successful reported post show up there?

When you click "Settings" scroll down a tad below the subscribed threads and subscribed forums and you should see a section called "My Personal Statistics" with some tabs above it.

I don't initially see anything unusual about your account...

I've had a fairly good look at the various tabs visible in the "Settings" section. I still can't find anything specifically labelled "recent threads", but looking through all the tabs, neither can I find any record that my attempts to report a post worked .

This leads me to think that either:
(a) Post reporting is broken for just me (which seems unlikely based on Piratecat's reply), or
(b) Post reporting is broken for more than just me.

Could someone else maybe verify if post reporting is working in a general sense, so I can narrow it down to being my specific problem, or something more widespread?

You may have already been looking, but it is -far- down that page before you see the other tabs (like recent threads, etc).

In any case ...

I am able to report posts and threads just fine -- I did a handful this morning when i saw spam. no error message was returned.

What sections do you see when you click on "Settings"? I'm not talking about the menu on the left, but what's on the body of the page?

Okay, maybe I'm looking at a completely different "settings" page then, because my settings page isn't very long to start with -- the scrollbar for that page is half the length of the page. (I don't have any subscribed threads though, and looking at the layout, the page might be a lot longer if I did.)

To get to my "settings" page, I'm clicking on the word "Settings" next to "My Profile" and to the left of "Social Newsfeed" on the bar near the top of the page. Is that right?

Well at least it is not a widespread problem then. That's good to know. I think I've tried to report fewer than ten posts ever, so it's no big deal if I can't report stuff

On the middle of the screen, when I click on "Settings" I see:

New Subscribed Threads: (0)
There are no subscribed threads to display in this folder for this time period.

And beneath that:

My Personal Statistics

Above that heading are tabs for "Albums", "Social Groups", "Posts", "Threads", "XP Received" and "XP Given". At one point, I thought perhaps that "Threads" tabs was the "recent threads" tab that fba827 mentioned, but the "Threads" tab I see seems to list only threads that I've started -- there is no sign of my attempt to report a post there.
