Submitting links that are subscriber-only kind of sucks. Yes, one can do the googlebot trick but one shouldn't have to.

It's merely a JS based modal box. You can use your web browser's devtool/inspector to delete the two divs, one for the black transparent overlay, and one for the sign-up modal.

I wish I had those two minutes back.

Thanks for the tip. Did exactly that in Win 7 / Maxthon Browser.

Or you can simply load (or refresh) the page and when you can see the article, but before the overlay appears, hit the stop button in your browser.

It also displays fine if you have the NoScript add-on.

Maybe it requires JS to work, I was able to read it fine on Firefox+NoScript.

Though, now that I think about it, I remember making this same complaint a couple of months ago when Chromium still compiled here.

Works for me, Debian Squeeze 32 bit, official Chrome 27.0.1453.93 (that's no longer being maintained by Google). I'm running Adblock Plus, nothing else relevant I think.

Not that I disbelieve you and all the others who've reported this about this site, but what do you see?

I think the OP did the right linking to the original article. If this is suscriber-only you can take the time to subscribe or circunvent the blocking. BTW I use getpocket.com, it works fine.

I just automatically hit escape or press cmd/ctrl+r to try again; works 95 percent of the time

Works perfectly fine for me. Centos 6.4 with Chrome 26

set ids TB_Overlay and TB_Block to display:none

worked just fine on Firefox for android
