Attention to all users that use AOL or Netscape for email!
AOL has banned all email from Gay Authors.org. This includes their Netscape products.
In the terms of agreement for using Gay Authors, you must have a valid and working email account. If you have an AOL or Netscape account, it does not count as being valid or working.
Please update your email account immediately with one that works. I suggest Yahoo or Hotmail as too free sources for email accounts. I also read that Google will be jumping into the free email game soon. There are numerous others.
Actually, no "Members" can post in the library.
In order to post in the Library, you need to be of the "Author" group. (or one of the various mod/admin slots)
If you'd like to post in The Library because you are an author, let me know and I'll move you to the Author group.
This is also a good time to make sure you Profile is up-to-date, since I generally add people to the author list if they claim they are an author... and have a post or 2.
