"Report" feature fails in PMs

[logic]

Hi,

Getting an permissions error when clicking the "report" button on a PM I received (spam):

2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Just FYI; it appears to work correctly for regular forum postings.

I rarely check the reports because I read all the threads regularly but about once a week I'll go there and look (It's not too obvious to us). I never tried it for PM reporting, I don't think that feature is supported since I don't see where I could possibly be alerted for it. Please anyone who reads this PM myself or any other active moderator (we have several inactives) and we'll take care of it.

Hmm, looks like it might just be a hold-over from the template used to display regular posts; the p= HTTP argument is empty on PMs. That's something Chris would probably have to correct.

Anyway, the PM in question was from Jessie; zero posts, and the PM was the usual generic "Hi, what's up?" message body with a spam link to a website.

well, you can ignore users if you like. If it happens again let me know an I'll ban them.

I had the same junk in mine the other day... From Jessie as well....

Yeah, the one I got was on Buddhism.... I mean, c'mon... I may be fat, but I don't look like Buddha

[mosc]

ok, I'll just ban him

...done

If you guys run upon obvious spam PM's just forward them to me and I will get them banned. There are a few on other sites that register as "Jessie" and then spam about Buddhism. I have just banned them in the past.

Wierd. I don't remember spamming being one of the four noble truths....or even part of the noble eightfold path for that matter. And yes, I also got that PM. Thanks for banning him mods.

apparently reporting a forum post, although it goes through, also doesn't work. Please PM me or another active mod for all your reporting needs.
