Hi Stuart :) I've probably missed it now (the joys of living in a different time zone ... boo! hoo! hoo!) but I did email them to ask if they would be having another one or perhaps extending. I'll still try to access it later this morning and try your suggestion, thanks!! :D Take care, Rob.

Hi Robyn, I've just successfully reached the free pages, and found 343 refeernces to Knibbs which I'm having fun reading and will copy some articles that seem interesting. I found that I had to turn off my cookie blocker (in Norton Internet Security) to acess it, so try turing yours off completely. Hope that helps, regards, Stuart Knibbs -----Original Message----- From: Robyn Leeds [mailto:honey@honeyshome.com] Sent: Sunday, 25 April 2004 10:35 PM To: KNIBB-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [K/NIBB/S] The Times Archives 1785-1985 - available for free today! Hi Don :) Thanks for looking into this over and over for us, I just wish it would work for me!!! I'm wondering if it's the security settings on my computer that aren't allowing it. I've allowed cookies but I think I'm set on medium security, so maybe there's something my computer's not allowing that the site needs. I might email this to hubby and try it on his computer. Who knows, maybe 4 feet away it'll work!! lol Take care, Rob.

Just looking at the website again and it's also available today - apparently it was free for the entire week so I wish I'd heard about it earlier - its from 18-24 April during National Library Week. The address they give to tell people is http://libraryweek.galedemo.com/portal.htm. So, there's still time and I hope this link works for everyone although it's the same as one I gave yesterday. Its strange. I got the other address from the Oxford list and some people there reported the same problems with access (asking for usernames/barcodes). Good luck.
