If something like this is avail, would like to get a hold of it as before upgrade to phpb3, it was avail in phpbb2. I may have missed it somewhere but still looking for something similar that will work in 3.

I certainly agree that moderators should see the alert, but it's frustrating as a user to go report a post only to be told that it has already been reported. Maybe instead of showing an alert (as I do on my board) it would be enough to update the icon on the report-a-post button instead. But I believe that there should be some sort of feedback so users don't sit there and get annoyed. Hi, and thanks for your comment.

I think that is enough, I didn't have need of anything more on my board. I think this is one of the less annoying usability bugs of phpBB3. There are much worse issues in the MCP for example. Linking back to the original page doesn't work flawlessly, everything requires several clicks (redirection messages everywhere) etc. I have an article in my head some time now, but I haven't time to write it down yet and decide where to post it, this is something that should definitely be kept in mind with the development of new version.

Some of those suggestions have made it into the code already. Others may / may not make it as they get prioritized with other requirements.
