Accidentally Reporting posts

[Mass_Shyster]

Because I have extraordinarily large thumbs (fat fingers), I recently pressed "report post" by mistake. (It was one of Quincy's posts). Once that happens, there is no way to back out. A window pops up asking why the post is being reported, but the "X" in the top right corner does not close the window. The only button that works is "Report".

Any chance of putting a cancel button in that dialog box?

You reported one of my posts?

I have canceled reports in the past by simply clicking on the X.

That's odd. If I hit the report button accidentally I am able to "x" it out.

testing


ETA: yup...I just tried it and it worked for me.

The X just worked for me.

Maybe it's my fat fingers that keep missing the X. (Although I seem to have several issues with the touch screen on my phone). It seems that touching next to the X makes the dialog box flash (sort of). That appears to be my issue.

Never mind.

On my phone, I have more problems scrolling and accidentally clicking “like.” Some of the posts I discover I have liked (like a poster’s original post) are a surprise to me.

I use these forums exclusively on my desktop computer (Mac). I can either "X" out, or simply click somewhere outside the pop-up box and the box goes away.

I would have no patience for using a phone to access this place. Desktop/laptop only.

I tried using my phone once...changed to the "mobile" theme, then required help from admin to get things straightened out. I'm sure it's better since that experience many years ago, but I still just stick to the computer.

I have been known to use my tablet in a dire emergency but I'd drive myself insane if I tried to use my phone for this site.

I don't need the ride.

Macs definitely rule!
