Hi, I wasn’t able to delete the spam thread this morning because of an internet connectivity issue at home, so I regret having to leave it there longer than necessary. More importantly, I wanted to ask you about the error message you received when flagging the post. Were all of you who tried to flag it able to flag it? Meaning - did you get the error message despite successful flagging, or was it an impediment to the flagging? I see three of you were able to mark it, but I want to gather the data anyway. As always, I do appreciate your feedback and if I need to inquire about it, I like to back up the question with an adequate sample size. Carolyn ---

Hi Carolyn: I was able to “Flag” without a problem. The issue occurred when I tried to “Report” the post. Clicking on Report gave me a dialogue box where I entered my comment. But then when I hit Submit, it returned with a permission error. ---

My situation is exactly the same as JoeMario’s. I can add that whenever I have tried to “report” a post, I have **always** gotten the “You don’t have permission to do this” message, so I don’t think that this is a new issue. ---

OK. Good to know. I’ll inquire. Thank you both. Update: I think it should be fixed now, according to what I heard from support about the fix. ---

![](http://www.dailyllama.com/news/2004/images/golden_honey_spam_large.jpg) I have a can of this at home. I got it because I’m a Monty Python fan. I can’t bring myself to eat it, not only because it would wreck the cool can, but also because spam is disgusting. 😉 ---

Don’t knock Spam (made just south of here). Its great fried up and on toast. Real tasty and helped win the war. Otherwise it might be called Aufspamen. ---

@Bing I spent enough time in Austin in my younger days to never want to see Spam again. 😉 That plant permeates everything with a godawful smell that on some days seemed to stretch clear to the Iowa border. I did find the Spam museum entertaining, though. > helped win the war. I always got a kick out of that quote from the era “Spam is a meatball without basic training.” “Stuff Probably Ain’t Meat” ---
