Being new to the forums, please could someone explain what the Alert! icon means in the left hand corner of each entry? Many thanks - and sorry to sound so ignorant!

If you think someone has broken the forum rules http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/terms.php you can click the alert which will notify the one of the moderators here to the post.

It`s to alert a post to the moderators if you think it`s being offensive or going against the terms and conditions of the forum.

^ thank you, didn't know what that was either.

Thank you for that. I'm sure it doesn't have to be used very often, everyone seems so friendly.
