Request/bug thetimes.com

Describe issue/request: As of this morning, access to articles on TheTimes.com are not working.

Link of paywalled article: https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/matthew-parris-tv-general-election-debate-6fmtv65sp

Actions you tried yourself and if it works (clear cookies, disabe Javascript, change user-agent/referer, reader view, archive sites and/or add a custom site):

Browser (main version): Firefox

BPC-extension version (number): 3.7.1.0

PS always first see changelog and search (domain) name in (all) issues (& use latest ext. version). Also request host permission for unlisted domain (by clearing cookies once by BPC-icon; X = no fix).

I am getting exactly this issue, with both Firefox and Chrome browsers

[JonathanTaylor9]

Checked today and access to thetimess.com is back again. Presumably something changed on their side as the version of bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean is still 3.7.1.0?!?

[TrevorEdgecock]

I am also able to access thetimes.com today, 08/06/24, with bpfc version 3.7.1.0

[TrevorEdgecock]

However thetimes.com is displaying the message "Access all articles for free on the weekend of June 8th and 9th" so it is likely the issue will recur on June 10th

[bpc-clone]

Indeed, switch to new domain.\ For now open article with archive.today (BPC icon/popup).

[TrevorEdgecock]

As expected the issue has recurred today, 10/06/24., and I am not seeing the archive.today (BPC icon/popup) prompt.

[Elsewhereman]

The Times domain name was changed a day or two before the 'free weekend' - the extension only blocks thetimes.co.uk, which now auto-redirects to thetimes.com

[bpc-clone]

Site (new domain) fixed in latest master (or next release).

[JonathanTaylor9]

The lastest version just installed for me and it is fixed. Thanks for this.

[TrevorEdgecock]

Installed latest version, 3.7.2.0, working fine. Many thanks.
