Hacker News Reader

Ah, I can see how that would be confusing. That's a one time thing (cookie based, so if you clear or use private browsing you'll see it more often).

Thanks for the update, HN traffic is valuable to us and often generates interesting discussion, so I want to ensure that the paywal is disabled for it =).

I got the modal subscribe/login window also, though I don't immediately see anything to click to make it go away (without messing around in Firebug).

The current browser I'm using is Firefox 23.0.1 on OS X. My UA string is Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0

Thanks for speaking up. That's one of the great things about HN - primary sources standing by!

I thought that was the article itself for a moment... it was full screen and article shaped!

Yep. I got the same thing and just backed out.
