Hacker News Reader

I'm not sure if the parent link works or not, it didn't work for me.

I believe this is the article linked.

Edit: Nevermind, now it wants to work. Although I did link to the print version, incase anyone wants that instead.

I had problems with it too, but got this working: http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_16291970

Yes, you need to drop the query string from such URL's. This has been the case with at least one other recent Mercury News post.

Odd, yeah site seems to require registration with a random(?) pattern. Maybe someone with enough karma can edit the original link to point to printed version, seems that I can't.

If you append a source param to the URL it will always work (I'm familiar with the CMS):
