As Mikey said, implemented into the new layout, instead of it saying "Currently Online" there will be a green bar under your User status image that will appear if the user is online.
I agree with what Mikey said about members being able to close their own topics. If members could close their own topics than it could create clutter because other members might have questions or comments about the same thing as your topic. If you need a topic closed/moved then it is best just to PM an Smod or Admin.
The report button does work, and you won't get in trouble unless you start reporting topics or posts that have nothing wrong with them. Not just one or two, but multiple reports for no reason. Just making sure you aren't scared of it. (It doesn't bite. Unless you feed it.)
