I think they maybe had 1 too many pages, and thought they'd better fill it somehow, and hoped that nobody would notice!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Re: This Month\'s MBM - Proofreader dead again.
So good they printed it twice...
No doubt Carl will be on in the morning but I am afraid its nothing to do with the proof reader or anyone in the MBM editorial office on this occasion.
Suffice to say he is not happy and has been waiting for this very post...

On a related note, where would I find the "360" view mentioned in the Cranchi test?

I will be honest with you I cant find it!
I would imagine it will be in mbmclub.com galleries, I will ask tomorrow unless of course the photographer has not put it up yet (which is possible)

Hi Dave,
Not a proof reading error, a print error. Fear not, the inquiry has begun. But there's no missing editorial.
As for the 360 view, the system we have in place dictates that the online features accompanying the magazine don't go live until the day the mag goes on sale (Thursday). We're looking at amending this.

Errm, well that's alright then. Theres going to be a bit more spluttering of coffee when the marketing junior that arranged to flog his company's wares on there proudly turns to page 82 to show his boss where their £3k went...
(I'm trying not to be too cruel: We all make mistakes. It's just that I get to fix mine way before anyone gets to see what's gone wrong. Somewhere out there, a large machine is still replicating P82, then P83, over and over and over again /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif )

If there was no Editoral missing, what would have been on page 83 then? Was it going to be left blank?

Re: This Month\'s MBM - Proof Reader dead again.
Probably some display advertising - right hand page etc.
Would be interesting to know whether someone's ad hasn't appeared, or it's just ended up further back in the book /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

Re: This Month\'s MBM - Proof Reader dead again.
It was adverts. As you can probably imagine, the layout is often changing right up to the last minute to allow for extra editorial if a feature demands, or an advert if a booking comes in late. This is more or less what happened. When the mag left MBM it was correct, but something went wrong downstream that meant the late changes to the layout weren't made. Our ads team contacted their clients as soon as the error was discovered (last Friday) and have arranged to have the ads run elsewhere.
