Hi,

The post icons at the foot of each post do not have alt tag - but more importantly it would be better if the Notify Post was more obvious.

Maybe just adding an alt tag would help - but I rarely get users actually notifying spam posts.

They are happy to post in the thread saying spam - but do not often report the posts.

Maybe it needs a warning symbol next to the 'Top' link on each post.

I reported this post as spam for you. wink


I wonder, Ian, if changing the wordlet to "spam/inappropriate" would make get that button used more?

Disagree - I would rather know about posts that are spam and not allow the posts to go undetected on a forum.

The problem on a forum with 1000 posts a day the spam soon gets pushed down the line and forgotten about - meanwhile the spammer is still registered can repost, and of course his posts are picked up by search engines.

If we had a more obvious button, users might report the post and it can be dealt with.

I agree a simple Alt Tag to change its color make
it stand out would help.

What dosnt help is that only 1 person can report that post.
And 2 you have to be at your e-mail desk to know about it.
