And I use the minimalistic theme always on my N800s and Eee, usually on my desktop, and occasionally on my laptop, so my spam reports are probably down around 15-20% what they were...
Hmm, that is a problem. Maybe a good place for it would be the bottom right of the post, so it would look like "Quote | Thanks | Report"?

That minimalistic theme does look sweet, but I wish the the background weren't black...

Edit: Ouch the minimalistic theme also doesn't have the "Go to first unread post in this thread" button . I'm addicted to that button

I think there is a 12 step program for the minimalistic theme which takes 21 days to complete.
However I've found the minimalistic theme addictive on the N810. Maybe it could be added under quick links.

Well, when you first go to the thread from the search screen, you can click the post count instead of the title, and it takes you to the first unread post.

Wow, I never even tried that. In the Classic Theme, clicking that would bring up the "Who Posted" dialog box, so I figured that the same behavior would be present with the minimalistic theme -- guess not!

Thanks for the tip.

Yes, on the NIT the minimalistic theme is probably preferred and should be default. But I'm here usually on my laptop or via remote desktop, and then I prefer the default (N810) theme. Perhaps a feature where one can define their client and use appropriate theme is useful. I'd certainly appreciate it.

BTW, no offense taken, and my remark about teenagers stems from my experience as administrator on a (big) forum dealing with teenagers.

It seems like on this board all of the teenagers act like normal, civil adults, with the exception of that porting fool, qwerty12, who posts and ports like a tenured professor.

And speaking of SPAM - 4 posts in the either the 4 sale forum or deals and promos from one poster alone.

Remember, when you see a thread or post that you think is SPAM, report it by clicking the report button located on the top bar of every post (all the way too the right, on the same bar the time of the post is).

I use the Classic vBulletin theme, so depending on the theme you use, the button may be in a different spot and look differently.

By clicking that button, any forum Administrators (Reggie) will receive a message so they can take care of the issue. This will help keep the forum clean and SPAM-free.
I'm bumping this post because we've been getting some spam lately. Rather than reporting it, people are replying to it. Replying to it just gives the spam greater visibility.

Yes, the admins are at the Summit, in the airplane. Shhht.

As for the spam. Don't reply to them! Ignore them!

The latest spam is a good example of what we should not do. Someone (you know who you are) actually thanked the user for the spam!

I used to mod a forum where we'd get spam porn. Trouble was, it was bad porn. About as dodgy as some of these wonderful sale bargains are, I suspect.
