The application for newspapers.com asks for:

   "The email for your account on the partner's website"

What is the correct format in this case?

@Humphrey Tribble You need to head over to Newspapers.com, register an account, and then provide the email address you used to sign up.

Hi there -- JSTOR paging stopped working a couple of days ago, ie it gives the first page of hits but won't provide any subsequent pages. It was working fine previously. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, because it's difficult to work around.

@Espresso Addict It seems to be working for me - can you reproduce the issue today? If so, have you tried using it with any extensions you might have turned off? Or in a different browser?

Page navigation is working for me too (example).

Thanks, Samwalton9 (WMF) -- I got my OH to update my drivers and it seems to be working now, touch wood.
