I think the report abuse button is broken. It just goes to a blank screen right now.

Seems to be working fine for me. I reported this thread as a test, and it went through fine and I cleared it out easily enough too. Can you not report any post? How many reports have you tried to make where this has happened? Does the screen go blank as soon as you hit the report feature on the drop down menu or does it go blank when you have filled out the report and tried to submit it?

I have moved this thread to Technical Support as it sounds like a glitch.

It was happening on a few posts in the Fable II boards. I tried maybe three of them yesterday. I'll be darned if I remember which threads as they're probably well buried by now... All I was getting was a white screen, I couldn't even fill out a report. Thanks for looking into it.

This is happening both at work and at home. Here's a thread that I attempted http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/fable2/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-46147330&pid=927246 The second response was trolling... If it helps I'm using FireFox 3 on both computers. I was not using the wide forums beta, but the original forums.

That is strange. Everything seems fine for me if I try to report somebody, even on that board. That is a shared board though, which is gamefaqs controlled. Have you had this experience when reporting something on a GameSpot board?

Posting in it the thread managed to bring it out of hiding, and then I went to GameFAQs and reported the message.

I don't know why it shows a blank page when you try to report it through GameSpot.

I guess I'll have to find something offensive or trolling on a GS board. Then again I'm not actively looking for stuff to mod. Maybe I'll stop by System Wars, it's usually a menagerie of trolls there... :roll:

Still having problems on the Fable board, but system wars was able to take a report. Definitely a GameFAQs issue...

So you are still not able to report posts on any specific game forum?

Game specific boards only. At least Fable 2 and Fallout 3. It could just be the heavy use of said boards...

That's odd. I just went to the Fable II forum and reported my alt just fine. See below.

Just weird, it may be a geographic thing. I broke down and used IE, and it returned as a 500/ server error...

What region are you from? I am from GS US and I used Firefox 3.0. I can try it in IE7 when I get some free time.

Well I found someone else that had the same problem you had. I am not sure why this is happening as I tried IE7 and it worked fine for me. I can't replicate this.

I may have figured out the problem, I've never used the GameFAQ's site. According to their TOS:

Mark it for moderation. Click on the "Message Detail" link right above the message, select a reason, and submit it. This will inform the moderators that you believe that the message is violating the TOU, and they will act on it if they agree with you. Your account must be at least level 20 before being allowed to mark messages for moderation.

I'm only level one on their site. I don't know if this is something new, but it's quite irritating, especially since I've been here for quite some time...

That makes it sound like you were actually on GF. I thought you were talking about the game specific forums you access through GS.

I was originally through GameSpot, but I figured I'd attempt to try through GameFAQ's just to see if that would work. No dice on either account. Though that said, I definitely prefer the forums through GameSpot, just so much easier to use. BTW, the thread was "wtf, wtf, wtf," and there was a comment regarding coitus with "your wife on your bed." Though not quite as eloquent as that...

I meant to post this last week but forgot. I'm getting this same issue of the report button not working, it just takes me to a page can not be displayed page. I tried the button in this support thread and it worked.

The specific forum I am using is the "Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe [PS3]". I just can't seem to report :(

If it helps i've tried on IE7 and Firefox, I also live in the UK.

As am I.

Mercs 2 forum, Fable 2, Fallout 3, and Saints Row 2 forums.

I just tried this today just now from this thread..

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/saintsrow2/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-46388393&pid=939458

and I got the following

The page cannot be displayed
There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed.

Please try the following:

Open the home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
Click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Click Search to look for information on the Internet.
You can also see a list of related sites.


HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer

This has been happening to me for awhile now. at least since Mercs 2 came out.

hmmm sorry for the double post but It seems to only happen on the shared boards, as I just did it on a mods respose in this thread and it came up just fine.

So while we GS users are on shared boards we nolonger can mark a post for moderation.

As a test, your GameFAQs level has been bumped up to 20. Would you please re-attempt message reporting? Let us know how it goes.

Still getting the "white screen of doom." I figured I'd name the bug, and "of death" was already taken:P Though for giggles I hit GameFAQs and was able to report it. I'm stumped now...

We bumped your GameFAQs level up to 20, that's why you _can_ report on the GameFAQs side. :)

Okay, let's run through some basics here to rule them out. Would you please clear your browser cache and then close all open browser windows? Once you have done this, open a new browser window and try again. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for that! Okily dokily. I was able to reproduce this situation by creating a post in a Saints Row 2 board here:

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/saintsrow2/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-46388393&pid=939458&msg_id=m-1-508826332#m-1-508826332

then logging in as soul_motor and attempted to report the post. I got the white page. :*(

I'm going to bug this and close the thread. Pleae note that I have no control over bug prioritization, but we'll do our best to get it addressed.

I'm just wondering if I'm just spending too much time in the Fable boards. Fable II is wonky, but I tried Fallout 3, Chrono Trigger, and Bleach (Yeah, I tried to be somewhat random there), and they worked fine. I didn't actually report anything, but at least I can get to the screen to report it now.
