I'm at a public computer at the university library. I opened that link in Edge, Chrome, and Firefox. It worked in all of them. I've been using this website for 20 years, never had a problem. It's the daily newspaper in Albuquerque. I know lots of people who read the news on its website. I've never heard a complaint. I don't doubt your testimony. It's inconsistent with my long experience, and that of everyone I know. I've posted links here before, never had a complaint.

Would you have known about this article if I hadn't posted a link to it here? Town criers are useful. Read the article first, then have an informed discussion. I post here less than monthly. I don't make it anything, much less a news headline feed, or nothing more than links, just make a small contribution. This forum is better because people report the news as well as have discussions. I don't reply to most of them because I have nothing to say. I don't look for what I don't like and give the posters a hard time.
