Maybe put the link under the " more" foulder with an message only visible after 300 good reports. So everybody will see and find it, easy there with in 2 clicks !

It's a good suggestion, but I believe the "patrol" feature is in the core of SMF, and not a custom implementation. (Correct me if I'm wrong there) I quite like where the report history is, but I guess if you wanted to check you'd have to  click "report to moderator" to see it which could be annoying. The option could possibly show up once you've reached 300 good reports. I'm not sure how many users actually have access to this page as I doubt that there's a large percentage of the forum with 300 good reports.
Yes, it is really annoying that I have to go from my posts or someone else's posts first then click that "Report to moderator" button to get access to your report history. Though I'd really found a better solution to just bookmarked the page (report history) itself onto my browser but still if someone can access there report history but it isn't yet bookmarked the process will still be the same: go to a post > click report to moderator button > then click your report history.

It is just a suggestion though, especially to some people that have fonds of reporting post on their free time.

It is unnecessary when not all users can use that page.
Not all really can access that page if they haven't reached the required good posts needed but if some users have already reached it then I guess it's better for them to even have that small feature, my suggestion is that it could be optional too.



By the way, am I correct finding that error on our "Forum Profile Information" that the Patrol page is under the Watchlist page? Not a big issue though, but it's still an error.

Farewell o_e_l_e_o
I don't say your suggestion is pointless, but it is not matched with current stats system of forum. Users can not use that page if they have not yet reached 300 good reports: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=reportlist;mine
It is unnecessary when not all users can use that page.
Furthermore, mod log, sec log have not yet been added in main page after users log in their accounts.

Do you often use report button? There are guides to more effectively report
Report History
Only users who have reported 300 good reports have access to this page
This is probably one of the most useful features related to reporting. Basically, this shows you a history of your reports, and whether they have been marked good, bad or are unhandled. This page can be used for ongoing evaluation of your reporting habits. Use the information on this page to improve the quality of your posts.

Well if you'll examine the image below, there is still room for a hyperlink below the "Total time logged in:" on your forum headers' profile (it is just cut but that's my headers' profile). Could it just be inserted there or move below the "Total time logged in:" so that it will be easier to click your report history? Though the page can be bookmarked on your PC's browser on mobile it can't be, it's just a suggestion though.






And one thing I want to add here is that I found an error implementing the "Patrol" page over to your headers' profile. Please correct me if I'm wrong understanding this. It should be under the "Watchlist" hyperlink but shows above it instead on my profile, is it just me or someone also have the same format? And if ever the "Your report history" be ever implemented hope that it will be optional for other users as well and have the user option on the "Forum Profile Information".
