We have HN whitelisted from the paywall, so if you click through from the link on this page you shouldn't see the paywall as long as you don't have any extensions that hide your referrer.
If that's not the case, would you mind dropping me an email with your browser/version? tim.showers@foreignpolicy.com
- 67726e 13y agoMy mistake, the large subscription popup that appears on page load appeared to be a paywall to me. It does allow you to exit from it, though it had me a bit confused.
- showerst 13y agoAh, I can see how that would be confusing. That's a one time thing (cookie based, so if you clear or use private browsing you'll see it more often). Thanks for the update, HN traffic is valuable to us and often generates interesting discussion, so I want to ensure that the paywal is disabled for it =).
- ratsbane 13y agoI got the modal subscribe/login window also, though I don't immediately see anything to click to make it go away (without messing around in Firebug). The current browser I'm using is Firefox 23.0.1 on OS X. My UA string is Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 Thanks for speaking up. That's one of the great things about HN - primary sources standing by!
- wmeredith 13y agoYep. I got the same thing and just backed out.
- lifeformed 13y agoI thought that was the article itself for a moment... it was full screen and article shaped!
- shabble 13y agoWorks for me despite a global RefControl block, which is either a bug or feature :) (FF23+RefControl+NoScript+ABP)
- Amadou 13y agoThat's NoScript helping you out in this case.
