Experts Exchange ... view the answers without logging in

[electron]

Ok, so I keep running into people who are under the impression they have to register/log in to see the answers on experts-exchange.com. I am sure you have seen the site in the google search results, as it shows up for almost every technical query.

While it looks like you have to, if you keep scrolling down, past the masked answers, past the 'zones', you can see the unmasked answers as well. Since this seems to be a really useful tip, but not many people seem to know about it, I figured I would post it here. It has been like this for years.

Great tip. I had never scrolled down to the bottom, once I saw the message saying you had to be a premium member I just left the site.

Seems pretty stupid to obscure the answers only to show them further down on the same page.

Great info. I only looked part way then canceled out. I guess that's the idea though.

Thanks

Hmmmm... doesn't show the replies/answers on my system - here or at work - maybe there's something else going on?

 

[huggy59]

Wow, now I can see them!

 

[felixrosbergen]

nice...i also never read al the way down...so silly

I was indeed furstrating to see they they supposedly has an answer to your query but they wouldnt show you unless you paid...

Experts-Exchange can be completely annoying during Google searches...

That's why I despise of that website and move on... *sigh*

Well no reason to hate the now, as you have access to those answers now :blink:

 

[huggy59]

I got used to putting -experts-exchange on the end of my Google search terms... ;-)

 

[electron]

I would do the same if it wasn't for this, they show up everywhere.

Yep. Been like that forever. I don't blame 'em for trying to make some money.
