It looks like some spammy posts are beginning to appear on Idea Exchange too, but there is no possibility to report inappropriate content there. Please add that option.
Yes, it's under "More" - the three dots. Unfortunately this is not in the same place on the page in relation to the post in each topic. In this topic it is under the post/comment. In other topics it is on the upper left side of the post/comment. The consistency of controls/tools could be improved so each page and each topic has the same layout, look and feel. I guess that could be an "idea" for improvement.
I am having a private laugh about your comment on finding anything. That has been my experience too. With the new "tiles" instead of list format you can see very few posts, at most 12 per page, and have to keep loading "more", and impossible to finding anything as the tagging system has been greatly reduced or eliminated in some of the topics.
And that is the tip of the iceberg. There were thousands of posts in the old format, but good luck finding anything from that time. A huge loss of "knowledge" as it has been rendered undiscoverable. And I know you had a lot of material and tips which I quite enjoyed reading. No idea now where to find them.
I had submitted an "idea" to allow toggling between the new "tile" view and a "list" view, but it only got a couple of votes. I guess being able to find things is not that important to most participants - they live in the moment!??
And when I asked the help desk if there was a way to get a list view they said the post should have been under "ideas". I guess it's a tacit admission that it's not possible at this time.
ANd even the tagging of posts is problematical. I notice numerous entries in the Photography topic on how to do various things, but it seemed those posts would have been more appropriate in the How To topic. And in some of the Topics you can't add additional tags so the post will show up in a different topic.
I find it all rather depressing. It looks nicer than before, but a lot of the functionality to make it useful seems to be gone. Judging by the accolades people have been posting about how wonderful the new format is though, it looks like I am in the minority. I'll probably just check out and ignore the whole thing for a few months and see how it all works out.
I'm marking this idea as closed as this already exists as you found. Thank you.
