Will, this might have been mentioned already, but I think you have to be logged in before the triangles appear.

Will and Terry,

The triangle doesn't appear on any of my posts either and I'm logged in. It may just mean that the server doesn't see any of us ever reporting ourselves for inappropriate posts.

Yes, I just completely Sherlock Holmes'd this mystery. lol

Bart, if you're having trouble seeing the red triangles try chuggin' a pint of "Mad Dog" Cherry before you sign on. Always works for me!

Terry,

I'm serious. I see your mad dog post...red triangle, but my post above, no triangle. I'm Quincy, Sherlock Holmes, Angela Lansbury and the guys and girls from Law and Order rolled into one.

***wait a minute***
***squishing my head back down to size***

I'm okay now. Resume normal message board viewing.

Bart

do you see my name posted right above the box the message is in?
I don't think it would show up on your own post. Why would you want to report your own?

now look all the way across the screen, it will show how many posts I have, the date I think and your location if you chose it to display that.

In the small box right above that you will see the post number, a red triangle (report post icon) and a computer...

Default No red triangle on my posts

I am logged in (or I wouldn't be posting) and there is no red triangle on my posts.

No, but I would think someone else might. Or does it show on my posts on everybody else's computer, but not on mine?

***bowing as flowers are thrown in his direction***

I'd like to thank the academy for choosing me. I'd like to thank my mom and dad for having me. I'd like to that Mr. Right who chose me as his successor. And finally, I'd like to thank me. I am wonderful.

Just kidding guys and gals. Just having a good time with my insomnia.

Bart

The triangle! does not appear on your post on your computer, otherwise Ami would be deluged with people reporting themselves. The edit button appears only on your own post on your own computer (don't laugh! It took me a year to find that out.). I do like that edit button!
