The Arts Desk website

[alison]

Just wondering whether anyone could explain to me, please, how I'm supposed to access the review of the RB Nutcracker on the Arts Desk website?  I most certainly haven't accessed 4 articles already this month, and I doubt I've accessed more than 2 throughout November, so it really shouldn't be blocking me, yet a short time after the review comes up I just get a black page.

I get something similar.  I get the screen with the list of articles and then an invitation to subscribe that I can't get away from.

Me too!

I get the full article when clicking on the link via this Forum's Dance Reviews

It appears, when I tried to access, that there is a paid subscription in order to have access on the articles which was not the case before.

Had no difficulty accessing two AD articles for today's Links but it does look as if we're going to have increasing trouble. However their dance coverage has diminished so it may not matter too much. If the links harvesters can't get at the articles, they won't appear in our listings.

I have had no trouble so far.  I had the site saved in my favourites and I have just tried again and it still allows me access. There is a note saying that they require a small sub from now on but no mention of blocking the site.  I got the impression that they were inviting contributions rather as Ballet Co did, with great success, but obviously I was incorrect

My access was blocked from yesterday, they asked me to subscribe to their site. I had not accessed much to the Arts Desk this month, maybe for the first time when I was blocked. I tried to access from a twitter link.

Thanks, John.  I wasn't sure whether the shortage of AD links recently had been down to a shortage of coverage or whether you all couldn't get at them any more.

Once again, on I think my first visit to the site in a month, the screen blacks out and I'm forced either to subscribe or to log in.

I haven't  been able to read any at all since the middle of December even though it says you can read 4  month!

That's strange. I read a couple of reviews on the website without any trouble earlier today.
