Maybe it's me, but Salon's Day Pass goes in an infinite loop

But I've not been able to read enough of the stuff there to decide whether it's worthwhile. Except for maybe once a few years ago, every time I've tried to read something on Salon with their Day Pass, it's gone into a loop. Last night: See first few paragraphs of article. Day Pass or Subscribe? Click on Day Pass See annoying Winders Media Center ad Click on Enter Salon See first few paragraphs of article. Day Pass or Subscribe? Click on Day Pass See annoying Winders Media Center ad ... MMMV. :-/ I'm using Firefox and Adblock, but I don't think Adblock is doing anything untoward there. I had the same problems with Mozilla (and Privoxy). (CommonDreams often reprints stuff on Salon (in this case they have a similar letter from RFK, jr, from [link\|http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0413-31.htm\|April], but without the extra linkys on Salon.) Cheers, Scott.

My recollection is that if I had Privoxy on when I tried to use the Day Pass, then the ad wouldn't play, but I wouldn't be able to proceed either. I'm not using Privoxy any more (after issues with downloading source code and having "open(" be replaced by "concat("). So, Adblock is set to allow the ad from Salon. There's nothing obvious from Salon in the list of blocked elements for Adblock v0.5 d2 Nightly * build 39. When I said I'd check my cookies - I meant to see if I had them set to block things from Salon. I have Firefox set to Allow cookies, but there's no obvious cookie from Salon (unless it's one of the IP number sites). It does look like I need to clean it out again though... Whoops, checking the Exceptions button (I'm used to the Mozilla interface and hadn't checked this before), I see that www.salon.com is blocked from setting cookies. I'll have to mess around with the exceptions list when I get a chance. Thanks for the jab to recheck this. Cheers, Scott.
