| "Report this post to a moderator"
This also needs updating. When you use it, it suggests that you shouldn't use it for a lot of things. But it's the only place to report double posts and wrong-forum posts, or to request correction of a subject line. |

I noticed that the option delet post, doesnt work if your not a mod. Maybe they should allow people to delete their own double posts, wrong forum posting, etc...if not, i agree with theo, how else can you tell a mod? It needs fixing. |

Well, the mods give reasons for not allowing that. But that's why the buttons, FAQ, and so on should be updated/corrected to reflect reality.
It kinda looks like they're working from a site-creation program that doesn't have much flexibility.  |

They use www.vbulletin.com and it does give lots of flexibility. There are templates and such. Vb3 will have even more flexibility |

| OuTpaTienT, I'm a guy who cares about spelling. You can imagine how much more strongly I feel about bad information. What's the point of an FAQ if it gives you misleading directions? |

Ok fine. With spelling and correct information being so important to you I would also guess that meanings of words are also important to you. Note that this is a "suggestions" box and not a "give orders" box. |

I'm pretty sure the mods have suggested using the report to a mod button for just what Theo is suggesting. So if they are cool with this, shouldn't be an issue. Just needs updating.
Good idea, really. IMO, anyway.
Cheers
