I think a lot of people don't realize the answers are at the bottom, so they click on the link, see the request to register/pay to see the posts, and immediately back up, cursing the pseudo-paywall.
- ErrantX 17y agoI've seen people say this before - how do you mean "at the bottom". Every page I have seen highlights the "accepted answer" in green and does ask you to pay to access it..... am I missing a workaround?
- aristus 17y agoTheir ploy changes sometimes, but the answer is always there on the page somewhere. http://www.experts-exchange.com/Apple/Operating_Systems/OS_X/Q_22669414.html http://www.experts-exchange.com/Apple/Operating_Systems/OS_X... If you scroll down a bit it says "answer is available to premium members". But the page would not rank on Google if it didn't have actual content. Scroll all the way to the very bottom of the page. (APPLE-DOWNARROW on Mac) Bingo.
- compay 17y agoNo, I scroll all the way down and don't see anything. Do you need to be logged in? Even if you only have to be logged in without paying, it's still annoying as heck.
- timmaah 17y agoIt only works for certain referring pages. Google being one of them. Direct access, or a HN referral will not show the answers.
- ErrantX 17y agoaha that's the crucial bit of info I had never heard before :) cheers works for me now.
- projektdotnet 17y agoI never knew that, had to sign up for HN just so I could thank you for that info, now google search when EE shows up I don't have to skip those.
- ErrantX 17y agoHmm what browser do you use? Firefox and Chrome on Windows XP dont appear to have content hidden anywhere. This is what I see on the example you used. http://screencast.com/t/mJLb2rsD http://screencast.com/t/mJLb2rsD Any ideas where I am missing it? (checked the source too)
