"Boston Globe Subscription" recipe issues
It shows most if not all articles in the table of contents, but many do not download and only show a link.

Its a subscription recipe and as I recall you aren;t willing to share your account details, so...

It's free, and no, I will not, and no one else as well should ever share login info even if they can change it later. Sorry.

It is free. I have no subscription, just a login and I enjoy it everyday on my laptop. Only difference if you have a subscription is the number of articles allowed per time period, which is meaningless.

Please show me where on the web site I can enroll. All I see is either the ability for a paper subscriber to register, or for me to subscribe for an introductory rate of $0.99 per week for 4 weeks.

Just go to boston.com and skip the whole login process.

I do have a login, but I've had it for quite a while. I spent some time trying to find where to create a new one, but couldn't get past the 'subscribe to the Globe' prompts. Perhaps what we may need is a Boston.com (as opposed to BostonGlobe.com) recipe.

Good idea. On the other hand though, we (the general calibre user base) shouldn't expect Kovid to be the go to guy to fix all recipes. In this case he is not the author and so we owe him a great deal of gratitude for giving it a try.
