    am I the only one who keeps accidentally hitting the report button instead of the reply button?

    Hmmmm.. I deliberately put them far apart from one another. Let me see what I can do about that.

    Maybe move "Reply" to the leftmost slot, so that it's more immediate?

    Tim if you are fixing things how about putting a link back to the appropriate forum at the end of posts like at the bottom of this page? (http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=608457) This is not my radiator, it is just the first post I found with only one reply.

    This way you can go directly back to the forum you were in after you post. Once you post if you hit the back button (the usual way to get out of a thread and back to the whole forum) it takes you back to your typing first. This way you could get back to the forum to view other threads without having to go up and pull down a bookmark menu.

    It's just a minor detail, but it would be nice. :)

    Switching them would work quite well, also changing report to something that looks less like reply, perhaps "snitch" or "I take offense!"

    Except, then there'd be a whole other rash of "Reports" as people clicked the wrong button.

    I keep clicking report but it looks nothing like the TPS report I need.

    Maybe replace the complain button with

    I couldn't love GRM the magazine or the website more, and believe me, I don't like to be the P.C police or anything or the guy who has a problem with everything thing, but I do have a problem with this...

    I find this post or topic a bit offensive. I of course am not offended but my wife, girl friend, same sex partner or any combination of the above frequently read over my shoulder and are a bit sensitive about (insert topic/post above)

    I'm sure the original poster did not mean to offend but is just not as sensitive or enlightened as I am. It just dosen't seem right to me, thats all. I know that it's not my message board, and that noone forces me to post here, but all the same, some things are wrong when they really don't need to be.
