Cheryl- For most people filing an abuse report because they have run into a problem doing a search and that problem is due to a badly listed surname entry (for example) -- it wouldn't matter where they were dumped after hitting submit. For Susie Board-do-gooder who is spending 36 hours every day scouring old posts on boards for the sole purpose of filing every abuse report possible it WOULD make a difference. My point--which I may have explained poorly before, is that the board system is not designed for the Susie Board-do-gooders of the world. The system is designed for the normal everyday user. When changes were being tested the last time and some of us were doing beta testing--we were told at that time that the Report Abuse feature was going to revert to its ORIGINAL purpose -- which didn't include reporting surname and subject box errors on old posts on the boards. That was an EVOLVED usage, and don't get me wrong--it DOES serve a valid purpose. But originally REPORT ABUSE was exactly what the name implies--reporting spam on boards and impersonations and things of that nature. I'd guess that is what the developers have in mind when they made the landing page after submitting a report go to the BOARD view instead of the thread you had been viewing. Joan -------------- >From my little foothold on reality, then, I don't see that it matters where the system dumps me if I complain about a post. (I mean, if I've just objected to something I've read, why would I want to keep reading it? Masochism??) I don't get it. Cheryl **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

I would like to know if you all are actually seeing objections lately. I posted an objection on one of my boards just to test the system and have yet to see it hit. Jim
