How does one report a thread?

[+ purplekow]

With the old system, if there was a thread which seemed out of place, there was a little icon at the bottom which would trigger and alert mechanism. Does that exist now and if so, how does one trigger an alert for a thread or posting that appears to be inappropriate or misplaced?

You click the "Report" button at the bottom of the offending post.

Yes I just found that, thanks so much. Nice to see you posting more frequently once again

[AdamSmith]

Thank you! I must be attracted to the new forum software look, like a magpie to bright shiny things.

 

Seriously, I post most often from my phone, and the new software is so nicely "adaptive" as the geeks say -- it "adapts" to mobile devices and displays / works beautifully on them.

I usually post most often from my iPad mini. However, when viewing the site on my iPhone 5s there is much less detail and information. I wonder if this is a function of screen size or a function of the type of mobile mobile device, as other sites appear differently on my phone and iPad as well.

 

Ironically, if I were not spoiled by how the site looks and feels on my iPad (which is virtually the same as it appears on my computer) I really should be satisfied with the way that it appears and functions on my phone.

 

Oh! The reference to the magpie reminds me of the plot of the opera La Gazza Ladra... aka The Theiving Magpie... and the theft if a shiny silver spoon that causes so much angst...

For the music...

Another nice & attractive/attracting feature of the new sw is the Like button.

 

It occurs to one that opportunity exists to develop a plug-in for forum software that would add a range of more nuanced & graduated buttons -- from Love and Lust through Meh and Hmm on down to Loathe.

Exactly my thoughts! I LOVE THIS!

 

My favorite La Gazza Ladra quote:

 

"The point is... a person feels good listenning to Rossini. All you feel like listening to Beethoven is going out and invading Poland. Ode to Joy indeed. The man didn't even have a sense of humor. I tell you... there is more of the Sublime in the snare-drum part of the La Gazza Ladra overture than in the whole Ninth Symphony."

-- Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow (1973)

Nothing against Ludwig or his symphonies...

[AdamSmith]

...nor anything against Poland, necessarily.

LOL... something tells that Wagner looms on the horizon!

Who can deny the arc of history?

 

But maybe to stick with tonight's theme...

Nothing against Poland... Heck my best buddy is Polish... not to mention a favorite escort...

 

But... somehow after so much Teutonic music I indeed can sense why thomas Pynchon would want to invade Poland!

 

Some corrective Rossini... and from Berlin too boot! Even the Germans can't resist it!

Puts me in a better from of mind to call it a night!

Have you called in the airstrike yet, whipped?
