This plugin modifies the reported post system to create a new thread in a pre-selected forum and disables the send of reported post e-mails. This is a port of the version run on our forums, which is based on the original Xenon hack. This is posted with his permission.
Version 2.01 is now released as a product. Download the xml file and then import it into your forum using the product manager.
Everything you need is now imported - there is also no need to edit the plugin anymore - instead you set the id of your reported posts forum in the vBulletin Options > General Settings area.
If you wish to upgrade from version 1 then delete the current plugins and template associated with this hack - then import the product - and set the forum id in the vb options.

There are posts all through this thread about creating a template for this hack.
Older posts maybe - before it was a product it was necessary to create the templates, since it was upgraded to a product it is not, the product import creates them. If you have created templates and imported the product, you may have created a problem.

I have no idea and I'm not entirely sure I understand you. Do you have screenshots to illustrate what you mean ?
Good to know! lol Now I need to figure out how to get rid of the template.
The first screen shot is the default colors, etc. for the main index. The second is what happened after I reported a post on the board with that background. Still no threads being created though.
Any rogue templates can be got rid of by reverting them. After you have done that - reimport the product, with overwrite set to yes, and make sure you have a master template called "Report_post". Also make sure the plugins are loaded.
Sorry to bother you with this again but I just installed this on a friend's forum and am having the same problem with the backgrounds changing after a post is reported. I didn't do anything unnecessary, i.e., creating a template so I have no idea why it is doing this again. I even tried it twice but the backgrounds are still messing up.
I still don't really understand what you mean, your screenshots were too small for me, and you never really explained what they were supposed to be showing. That said - this doesn't alter what's displayed when a post is reported anyway, all it does is change the resulting action - so I don't see how it can affect any background anyway.
The screen shots were supposed to show before and after I reported. The before shot was the main index with the default background, the after shot was the main index with the board's (with the post I reported) background. For some reason, when I reinstalled on my own forum, it worked. But that isn't the case with the forum I'm working on now. Is it possible this hack is conflicting with another one or a template with certain settings?
I'm still completely confused - how can your forum have two backgrounds ? are they different styles ? What is the url of the site ? Can you create a test account so I can see what you are talking about, because I really just don't follow, esp given what I have alreay pointed out - that this does not alter the actual post reporting process, only what happens to the report.
