WSJ Problem

drnkusv · 11-04-2008, 12:43 PM

Over the past couple of days, whenever I try fetching the WSJ using the built-in recipe in the GUI, it retrieves only the beginning of each article, following by "...". It seems like the password login feature is not working.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Anyone have any insight on this? Ideas would be appreciated.

I'll look at it when I get some time. In the meantime can you isloate what kinds of articles get cut off?

Many thanks. I believe it is cutting off everything that the WSJ has marked as "subscriber content" -- ie, everything you would need to log in for. My account with the WSJ works fine, and I am able to log in on the web site with my username and password, so that is not the issue. I have also tried doing the Calibre download on both a PC and a Mac, with no success on either one.
