in view of the recent re-emergence of the 'buy my book!"/ 'read an interview with yours truly!'/ 'here's my latest blog post!' brigade - so glad they've stuck their head back over the parapet after a year of relative peace - what say i set up a new section, say, RABID SELF-PUBLICISTS CORNER, dump all their crap in there and offer an opt out clause so that those who don't wanna read it won't have to? |

On the BFS Forum they have a section headed: Promote Your Own Projects", where everyone is free to do exactly that. I use it myself shamelessly. But that's what it's there for, in its own little ghetto. |

Is that why the 'Horror Books Post 2000' section has suddenly gone? I hope it wasn't my book reviews you were referring to (I'm not a publisher, author or anything other than a horror fan). Shame...I liked posting up reviews of horror books as and when I read them. I thought my recent review on the new Graham Masterton short story collection would have been of interest to at least one or two guys & girls on here. Oh well, c'est la vie...c'est la vie. |

Must keep track of my anti-paranoia medication. Alas, nope...I noticed it had gone whilst browsing the Vault yesterday, and it hasn't been back since. And when you try to access one of my reviews that were within that section, which have been linked from outside of the forum, you get this message: Sorry, but you do not have permission to access this area.Hmmm...the plot thickens... Perhaps it's been accidentally set to 'Moderators only' or something? |

There's definitely something weird happening. That whole section, "It's The New Thing", disappears when I log on to the site - it's there if I am logged out, but is gone when I am logged in. |

I just logged out and there it all is!!! How bizarre. And I thought someone had just deleted all of my reviews. Looks like a technical issue on the cards. I'd better take a backseat from here on in... |
