History:
17-12-10: v4.0 First Release
18-12-10: v4.0.1 - Hide report icon if post was reported

This hack is created for your use free of charge. No payment is requested. However, if you would like to donate money for the work I put in to this hack, a donation would show your appreciation.

Would be great if the report icon would fade off, not being able to click on it.

Great work!

Good to see this on vb4 as well. This has been very useful in vb3.8

Added in 4.0.1.
Report icon will be hidden if post was reported.

Thank you.
Now this version works with thread creation and email notification.

If the icon is hidden, the user wouldn't be able to click it to see the error, right? Or am I missing something?

You are right.
Unless the user go to report url. Or user one report the message before user two and user two still see report icon and click this.

Ah, okay. I was thinking this was for PMs. Sorry for the confusion.

This seems useful if you can add an icon beside reported posts ?
(for users to know if already reported or not).

I can't figure out why anyone would want to block additional reports.? This assumes people are reporting the post for the same thing, and I'm not sure that's a fair assumption. User2 may be a little slow, but their concerns could very well be totally different than user1.

The way it works currently - with the report going to our Moderators forum, and subsequent reports listed as replies to the same thread, seems a better solution.
