    On the new format the report Flag is much smaller and usually under the ads on a question.

    When you click it a new page does Not come up like before so you may have to scroll down a little to see the report place, also much smaller.

    The drawback is reporting answers you don't have a Return to Question option so it is difficult to see if what you report has dropped, as on the new one it just says that you have reported that answer.

    You have to find the question again.

    Reporting a question just bounces you back to the category list so again you have to look for the question.

    What you can do is add a question you are reporting or if reporting the answer to your watchlist so it is easier to find to see if it dropped.

    You can use the old format on the Canadian site which is better for reporting

    There is a small FLAG icon that is used for reporting. If it doesn't activate when you click it, try pressing F5 once or twice to refresh the page and do it again.
