    My count went from 28 to 17 without reading an article. So that was cool.

    I jumped from 19 to "This is your Last Article." Yes, yes it was. Because now I won't even go there to look at my "free" bad articles.

    I had a similar experience. I then decided, if they won't play fair, then I won't either. I started using Google Chrome (although I suspect other browsers work just fine), browse until I get the "you're time's up" message, clear out the entire browsing history, then I'm back at the start line. Two can play at this game Enquirer.

    Correct. Just as its articles are consistently Pulitzer worthy material, the Enquirer's paywall is the pinnacle of digital technology in the 21st century. Did you expect that newspaper to accept mediocrity?

    No, they would have to pay to much for mediocrity.

    Even though a new month has started, I am still unable to read articles. It wants me to subscribe. Anyone else having this issue?

    Yes. It stinks. And, oddly enough, there are a few articles I'd really like to read. You don't know what you got until it's gone maybe.

    This is tough for me. I've been reading the Enquirer for 25 years, give or take a bit. Over the past few years, I've been reading it free online. Now, I'm at a cross roads. I'm not sure the quality of the paper is worth $10/month. At this point, I'm not going to pay, but I may in the future. We'll see.

    Just read behind the little box. Its not that difficult. Its just a box in the middle of the screen, and it darkens the article a bit.

    I don't go there anymore.

    John Kiesewetter articles about DJs leaving B105 aren't worth my money.

    I do that, but for a lot of the articles you can only see the first few lines. It's weird.

    Kiesewetter is pretty much the only thing I read on that site. I used to work in TV and am always interested in local TV and radio history (of which Kiese is a treasure trove).

    Oh, and I sometimes read Daugherty when I need impetus to punch a kitten.

    Lol, so I went to the comments section then hit the back button to go back to the original story I was reading and my article count went down. Lol, poor implementation if you ask me.
