Welcome back Gavin! Thank you for your suggestions. The "comment sort style" concerns have been discussed. We agreed and think there should be options for admin to choose.

Could you please be more specific in regards to "option to report posts"?
Thanks Ryan. Well I am sure I remember on each posts that is added to the site there was a little arrow or three dots you could click for more actions and one of those was report. Did I imaging this?
They are still there, Gavin. However, not on items shown in Newsfeed (What's New).
Ah OK thanks. I thought they used to be on each posts in the news feed.

Hi Ryan Nguyen, would you ever include the report post on news feed?
I would but only when all our "high priority" items are taken care of, Eddie. This is a low priority since you can report anyone from their profile and using the "reason" field to further describe your report reason(s).

Okay no problem.
Ryan Nguyen Can you reverse the sort style of the comments in admin? Not sure I really like the latest comments to show first. Just wondering if you put that option in the 2.3 version...
