Hi jojo, have you been excepted as a friend? Lots of people who are not 'friends' with Aaron yet, can't find the page. Apparently he has adjusted his setting and removed some of his pics. I think this could be the problem. Other people are suggesting that those of us who cannot find the page have been blocked by Aaron, but I think that is highly unlikely. The problem only seems to be occuring for people who not his 'friend'.
So those of us who did nothing are blocked or on a speaking ban.

He's not actually blocked anybody in particular. He's messed about with his privacy settings and obviously got a little carried away! Though I'm not sure he's aware of the extent of his tweaking..

Hi Luv em all

Yes Aaron has accepted me, i only noticed tonight.

I don't have a problem seeing the page but really don't know if it is because of this or not.

Did you request him. He has over 1400 friends right now and then said he was going for a bath and would do more later. I really don't know why the page is not coming up for some of you.

Luv em all - have you been on faye and aaron at - a poster over there has compiled videos of everything with faye and aaron on bb going from launch - he is up to night 16

I don't think people are blocked at all. I read it on the 'Aaron won BB' fb page. Some posters on there were telling some of the guys, that could not find his page, that Aaron might have blocked them. People were quite upset about this.

I think it's silly of him to accept randoms onto his personal FB anyway. What on earth was he thinking???? Just because someone claims to be a fan, doesn't mean they actually are. He should have set up a page for people to be 'fans of' & where he would post too, then he could control it.

When I sent him a message, I didn't put in a friend request, as I didn't think it would be appropriate.

Yes it does seem rather silly. I really don't know much about fb, but posters on here thought it might not turn out very well.

Try this if you really want to.

Copy the link to his Facebook page while logged into Facebook, then log out. Paste the link into your browser, and see if his page still comes up.

Now I kinda wish I had played along with the whole 'speaking ban' theory. For the kicks!

What I said only applies to those who have already added him as a friend.

Yes. Because they are his friends. Right now, only his 'friends' can see his Facebook page, it would appear.

Hello

Anyone who goes in the general forum will know I'm an Aaron fan but I don't really do ATs, so this is my first post in here.

Does anyone know why his Facebook profile has disappeared? I sent him a message on there a couple of weeks ago, after he said on the show that he would like nice messages but the link to his profile has gone from the saved message. If it's a delicate matter I'd appreciate a PM from anyone in the know.

Thanks in advance

I'm getting this aswell, does anyone know whats happened to Aaron's fb page?

Morning everyone

There are settings you can use on facebook so that only people who are already added as a friend can search for your profile. That's why people who aren't added as a friend are getting a message to say access isn't authorised. My account is set up like that as well as I don't really want people I have contact with professionally through work to find me!

Either Aaron has changed the settings accidently while trying to do something else, or he was worried about waking up to 500 new friend requests and changed it temporarily so he could have a night off! I'm pretty sure though that it's temporary as he has said he's happy to add people as friends. No need to worry I'm sure

If you're a member of either of the facebook groups that he has joined and posted in, you may still be able to access his profile through his posts on the group pages.

I have mine set that way too Twizzy, I'm sure Aaron isn't trying to block anyone on purpose or permanently.

If he doesn't change his FB settings this morning we could always tweet him to let him know what's happened??

Morning Aarons fb is still there i've just checked, you have to be a friend to access his page, if your not a friend or haven't been accepted then you'll get the message you have been talking about, he's put his page on a private setting to people he hasn't accepted so everyone can't see his page or pics.

He seems to have added me overnight - go and check, he's probably adding people gradually a batch at a time!

Morning.

Well I've been having problems with Facebook for a while (that's because of my computer, not FB itself) so this whole friend request and accessing Aaron's FB account stuff I can't get involved with anyway. I do think Aaron should've sorted a separate account to take friend requests and messages from fans rather than just laying open his private account for all and sundry.

To get himself out of his current pickle he's best to not take on any more requests, sort out a separate account and direct people to the new one. To those already accepted he should send a message saying 'Ooops!' and delete them from his list, again directing them to the new one.

Oh...right.


Well in that case, he'll probably not take my advice!
