This probably is going to end up with us contacting them at some level. After all, they are a TWL partner. Maybe they can whitelist citoid.

My hunch is that this is some sort of new bot detection layer as the OpenGraph validator suggests the page is titled "Just a moment..."

I had asked this question of Samwalton9 privately and was told,

A good idea might be to separately sign in to Newspapers.com (non-proxied) and manage clippings from there.

@Reschultzed I'm trying this without success, apparently because I can't copy "Session" as an expiration date. Any assistance?

I think the clipping page issue is one and the same with the login issue, because you need to be logged in before you can create a clipping.

Things seem to have gotten worse: until this morning, I could still view any page without being logged in, I just couldn't make clippings. Now when I'm in the proxy system, I get the same "You need a subscription to view this page; Start a 7-Day Free Trial" message that one would get if they had no access at all.

I wonder if the login problem might be related to Cloudflare, since when I log in to the non-proxy newspapers.com, there's a "Verify you are human" checkbox. But the fact that we no longer have the benefits of non-logged-in access either suggests that there's more to it than that.

My account randomly signed me out, so count me in.

Having the same issues as Gamaliel and HazelAB. It is clear that the proxy implementation is so rough that it is degrading lots of site functionality. Search only works outside the proxy.

Confirming that Edwin of Northumbria's suggestion worked for me using Firefox on Mac. In my case, I deleted only cookies for Newspapers.com.

It was working for several hours but it seems to have reverted to prior behavior.
