Hi,
Not sure who I should submit this to, but when reviewing the LCR - "Protecting Children and Youth Training" report screen I am seeing a "Prod" indicator just to the left of the Home button in the toolbar.
Not sure that this was intentional, but being an employee for a software development company I am assuming this is indicating a "Production" instance of the software.
Just wanted to send this up to someone so it get's checked.

The "Prod" indicator appears on several other pages in LCR. Just guessing that "Prod" is short for production and maybe it is an oversight when the updates were implemented. There have been a few changes in LCR in the last few days, some with "Prod" in them.

I saw this as well. I think it's a little odd that it appears in a highly visible place for all users, most of who won't know what "Prod" means.

prod, v.: 1. to poke (someone) with a finger, foot, or pointed object; 2. to stimulate or persuade (someone who is reluctant or slow) to do something

Maybe it's a feedback button of some sort, for "prodding" the developers to change something. Or maybe it's something like "poke" that Facebook used to have. :)
