    I today attempted to use the report function, as a posting in "Getting Started" seemed to me to be a case of Spam.  I clicked Report, then chose "flag as Spam" from the popup menu.

    The Einstein web site then generated a popup reading:

      Interesting!  I've never tried to use the report function so was unaware that it just fails like that.

      I've just started my first set of daily rounds (I tend to start with 'Getting Started' if there's anything new there) so had already removed the Spam.

      Oliver seems to deal with website stuff so I'll send him a PM (and copy to Bernd) to draw attention to your report.

      Thanks for reporting the failure.

      Cheers,
      Gary.

        I went through identical process. Got that same error. I tried to click report for a second time and then I'm not sure if it worked, but the reporting option changed to something like "cancel report". Maybe it was sent, I thought at that time. Anyway, there was a problem with that thing for sure.

          Huh, that's new. Last report we got this way was on July, 21st. Looking into it (might take some time though)...

          Thanks!
