Most of the Spam seems to come into the Blogs, could we perhaps have a "Report Spam to Administrator" icon on every blog like we have on each post in the forum please? John

I have tried reporting spam on forum posts, but the e:mail messages always come back as undeliverable :(

Tina - They do come back as undeliverable, but ignore that - they've still been delivered. I just delete the email from the postmaster telling me the email has failed - in reality, it hasn't: the report will have been received. (I know that because mine have.) It's one of the site's many little inexplicable quirks - or at least, there doubtless is an explanation but life's too short to want to listen to it .... North Light/Sylvia - Tina Smith will have used the report spam button on the forum, which does return this result (the triangle in a circle, on the right at the foot of posts): she certainly could send an email to Dawn directly, but this is quicker even if the site does then play silly beggars....

And yes, a button on the blog page would be a very good idea.
