won't let me flag (as spam and such)

i recently tried to flag a couple of instructables as incomplete or spam, however when i click the "flag" button, nothing happens at all... I have done this before, and have not made any changes to my configuration since then. I have tried refreshing, and using ctrl+shift+R in firefox, as well as logging out and back in again already. I am using firefox Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820 Firefox/3.0.1

I am not able to reproduce the inability to flag (i.e., I have seen it done successfully on several accounts), however there is a javascript error in there somewhere which could be causing different behavior on different browsers. We are investigating further. If you can't flag, please post which browser and OS you are using, thanks!

Thanks, you did provide this already; I should have specified I was asking additional commenters for this info.

Same problem here, also using firefox. Can't remember which version though.

I have the same problem with this instructable:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Fun_and_safe_way_to_make_money_online/?ALLSTEPS

It's blatant spam with fake comments (posted by 3 new users who registered at the same time as the spam was posted). When I press the flag button nothing happens.

I tried both in IE and in Opera 9.51 with the same (lack of) results.
