I am here to talk about the "report" button. It seems not many of us know of this button when it comes to videos, links etc and would rather just say "it doesn't work *cry*", so here is a step by step of what to do.

1. If the video you are trying to watch is not working and does not say "video broken or no longer here" click on the title. This will bring you to the page where the video first came from.

2. If the video definately does not work click the little flag.

3. Once you've clicked it there will be an assortment of options to choose from. Choose wisely though and appropriately.

4. As this is all about broken videos, click the "broken" button.





And you're done! Now either you can find the video or posters on the spot will notice it is not there and run off to find it :) If you request for it make sure to ask nicely (this report system can also work for links if they do not work)

I hate it when someone report a video from veoh, just because it stops after 5 minutes, because they don't click at the name first, where they can watch the full video.

I've had someone complain about me posting veoh videos and say "don't lie when you say it's the full episode" even after I TOLD them in the description what veoh's deal is, and I thought people knew that by now.

Great article, Snerkie. While a comment does alert me to a problem, reporting is MUCH better. Plus, I don't always see comments, but I DO always see if I have a new message saying my vid's been flagged.
