Well, not this one. (Unless of course it doesn't conform to forum guidelines (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/rules.php)). :blush:

Anyone have suggestions on how we can make the Report Post image (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/report.php?p=4218613) easier to identify?

I think the Stop Sign is universal enough of a symbol that people would connect the notion of reporting a post to it if they were asked to do so.

The yield symbol is also a pretty good one (minus the word yield of course :P).

How about the classic Mr. Yuck sticker? Or maybe this dude:

I just had this done, very basic clear IMO.

Just out of curiosity how many "report a posts" do you receive daily on average?

I think some sort of image containing the word "Report" or phrase "Report this Post" should be used. It needs to be clearly defined so people don't have to go hunting for it. :)

I think Prohacker is on the right track.

A rough guesstimate for an average would be fourtyish.

How about a text link "Report This Post To A Moderator"

It's quite simple...Just put it after the AWS "warn this member" text in the postbit template. :)

And that's only if I'm not reporting :D

When I start reporting, I go on a spree lol

2 are usually from me :) I report a fair bit. Mainly people advertising when they shouldn't :) I no like that.

A rough guesstimate for an average would be fourtyish.And if you're asking because you're interested in knowing how many issues get handled by the help desk in a day, a healthy number of tickets are opened which are not created using the Report Post button too - just entered directly into the help desk :)

Yep those looked the best to me, something with an "!" at the end or before should work best, or just the "Report" button that Prohacker made ;)

That would be the best in my opinion, straight to point :)

That existing report button is not "report" related. Icon needs to relate the symbol icon not just random because I studied the problem solving in design area.
