AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing issues with the "Report" button on a forum post, specifically regarding a citation related to the Milankovitch theory. One user reports that clicking the button yields no feedback, suggesting a possible JavaScript error. Another user successfully reports a post using Firefox, indicating that browser compatibility may be a factor, as Internet Explorer does not work with the new forum software. Clearing the cache is also mentioned as a potential solution. Overall, the discussion highlights technical difficulties in reporting posts and the importance of using compatible browsers.

This thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/the-milankovitch-theory-and-climate-change.781136/#post-4908967

has issues with citations that supposedly represent refereed science and are not. See the Leif Svaalberg citation.

But. When I hit the Report "button" (on the same line as Like) Nothing happens, no feedback, nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

Maybe some JavaScript error? Can you report other posts? You can test it here.
I could report the post you linked to.

What browser are you using? IE does not work for me with the new forum software. Using Firefox works well for me.

I was able to Report mfb's post. I'll now go and try the other problem post.

Thanks for the help.

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
