I still haven't figured out why people think they need to report forum issues in Ask The Tropers. That's what the Hollers function is for. Anyway, dealt with.

Ask The Tropers is more visible and interactive. You see folks getting banned (or not, as it may be), you see the reason and you see stuff happening. Hollers looks like a yellow triangle and not much else.

This is true. I'd like to have something put in so that Hollers can have an automated reply feature. "This was done", "this was declined", etc.

Seconding Septimus. I tend to come to ATT just because I can get a visible response, as opposed to sending something off into the mysterious ether, possibly to get eaten by Data Vampires.

Is it at all possible to change the graphic for the Holler button? Maybe a tiny M or R, to give a better clue to its function?
