It's really annoying to have to log in to read something on google+, or groups for that matter. I just won't do it.

- spicyj 14y agoThis happens only if you have some Google login cookies already -- if you delete all your Google cookies then you won't be asked to log in.
- siculars 14y agoUm. What? Did you just tell me to fuck myself?
- lambda 14y agoRather than suggesting that people delete their cookies, you could suggest checking the article in private browsing mode (or whatever their browser of choice calls the feature).
- EdiX 14y agoI can't believe this bug still exists after two years.
- fauigerzigerk 14y agoMaybe it's not a bug then.
- Figs 14y agoYou have to login? It doesn't do that for me, and I'm not logged into any Google products...
- jlarocco 14y agoSame here.
- tedunangst 14y agoGoogle has invented a new login state between "logged in" and "not logged in" called "not logged in enough". It's kind of like being logged in, except nothing works and you get asked to login again. Also, you can't logout.
- Evbn 14y agoYou can log out. You click "log out and log in as a different user", and then bail out. Then you can use Google's public-content products.
- tedunangst 14y agoWhen it happened to me, no, I couldn't. I click logout, then the browser redirects, and hey look, I'm still logged in. Kinda.
- batgaijin 14y agoNo it's the usenet remnants, not google+. But yeah, google made usenet worse too.
- rhizome 14y agoDelete your cookie or sign out. It's just a Google Groups thing for you to refresh your session and I dunno, parallel login or something (they may never have completed the dejanews cutover). Unknown users don't get a login prompt.
