I've had it set that way since this issue cropped up. It's definitely using template "reportitem".

Only two styles. Both show the same thing. How would I go about using a "totally default style"?

[Aside: One of these is a half-baked developmental one that I'd prefer to remove, but can't find the way to do that. I have it unchecked at least.]

At this point, I've completely deleted the English translation for the only_used_to_report phrase, to avoid any confusion when searching for text strings.

Stock phrase only_used_to_report is:

<strong>Note</strong>: This is ONLY to be used to report  spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or  rude) posts.

What is displayed:

<strong>Note</strong>: This is ONLY to be used to report problem posts in violation of <a href="http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/tug_rules.php">forum posting rules</a>, e.g. spam, politics, advertising, inappropriate forum, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.  For general communication with BBS Administration, use the <a href="http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/sendmessage.php">Contact BBS Admin</a> link at bottom of the page.

I've searched for text snippets that should be unique to what is actually being displayed, like "posts in violation of" and "For general communication with BBS Administration" using vB's internal "Search in phrases" and "Search in templates" and both come up empty. Likewise searching my entire /forums directory on the server finds nothing. Searching the entire database via phpMyAdmin doesn't find it either. This text has to be coming from SOMEWHERE, but I'm darned if I can figure out where.
