Anyone having trouble with this site. Have registered for the free 24 hours. I put in a search name, get pages of results, but can't get beyond the first page. Anyone got any ideas.

I managed to view the first page of images, but after that I can't get any further. Was the freebie just supposed to be on certain dates?

They still have the 24 hour pass promoted on the home page so it must be still available.

I haven't registered yet as I was intending to do the searches and then work out what I wanted to view before getting the 24 hour pass :)

I will be interested in knowing what those, who have taken up the freebie, have found from the search results . Was it the full article?

I have just had another look at the site and put in a test search.

Above each result there is a line...

Article | View issue | Add to your collection

If I click on 'article' it asks me to register so I would guess that if you have the 24 hour pass you would be able to view the full article.

Already registered Chris. Tried again, but its still the same. Searched for a certain surname, pages of results come up, can see page one, but it won't go any further.
really frustrating.
