When something is not a bug but acts like it is then I call it a bug anyway.
I may have addressed this before but don't know where.

In last previous UBB versions the "Report Post" was moved from the lower right corner in each post, it was there clearly visible with
"Edit" "Reply""Quote" etc.

Then it was moved under the "downarrow" together with "Email Post" and "Copy to Clipboard"

from then on I have not received one Report Post It simply stopped to be used, People has sometimes asked about it but no one uses it despite that there is a need for it to be used sometimes.

Please change this back to its previous position.
My 2cents anyway
Thanks for reading this

@Morgan,

in
/forums/templates/default/post_side.tpl
and
/forums/templates/default/post_top.tpl
and
/forums/templates/default/post_gallery.tpl

FIND near the top around line 39:
Code
{if $Number}
<span class="small lmar nd fr">
<span class="fas fa-chevron-down" id="menu_control_p{$postrow[post].Number}" onclick="showHideMenu('menu_control_p{$postrow[post].Number}','post_popup_{$postrow[post].Number}')"></span>
</span>
{/if}

REPLACE WITH:
Code
{if $Number}
<span class="small lmar nd fr">
<span class="fas fa-chevron-down" id="menu_control_p{$postrow[post].Number}" onclick="showHideMenu('menu_control_p{$postrow[post].Number}','post_popup_{$postrow[post].Number}')"></span>
</span>
{if $postrow[post].notifylink}
<span class="small lmar nd fr">
<a href="{$postrow[post].notifylink}" rel="nofollow" title="{$lang.NOTIFY_MOD}">
<i class="fas fa-exclamation-triangle fa-fw menu-item" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>
</span>
{/if}
{/if}

The code above will add the REPORT option to the top of each post subject bar.

EXAMPLE:
[Linked Image]

---

This next bit of code will clean up the duplication and remove the REPORT option from the post option menu.

FIND AND DELETE near the bottom of the file:
Code
{if $postrow[post].notifylink}
<tr><td class="popup_menu_content"><a href="{$postrow[post].notifylink}" rel="nofollow">
<i class="fas fa-exclamation-triangle fa-fw menu-item" aria-hidden="true"></i> {$lang.NOTIFY_MOD}</a>
</td></tr>
{/if}

EXAMPLE:
[Linked Image]

I tend to agree with Morgan.
The chevron is not enough to even indicate that a user can even select it for more options.
It appears to be like a secret option that only informed users know about.
If it was obvious , why not move all to the menu button items like the , Like Edit Reply Quote under the chevron also.

We do have options at the top of the page but they are not for the current post but the whole topic.
It is almost a hidden option that users can select it for other options.
It needs to be more visible somehow to use.
Possibly instead of a chevron but a button or language string that states what it is for, Like options or post option. or notify..

Not just the report post but all the items included in the chevron menu.
Like email post,share options
Personally I would prefer them all to be placed back where they were as buttons on the lower right area of the post with edit reply quote.
Or maybe move them all to the quick reply box???

Currently it is to vague to users that they can even elect the chevron to use.
It needs to be more prominent.
A lot of average users do not even know what a chevron is.
