    Experts Exchange - Even more broken that ever?

    Hi All, Is it just me or has experts exchange now stopped showing it's answers if you're not logged in?

    Just scroll down you idiot!

    Yes I know... there was a time when you just had to ignore the ads, and scroll down about 3 pages, and there were the answers, but now they're obscured with gobbledegook, and when you mouseover you just get spammed to join up.
    Is this just for me or is everyone seeing it?

    eg here:
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Prog..._20575395.html

    I've heard a rumour that if your browser spoofs it's User Agent to mimic the google crawler, then you get the answers without having to log in, but I haven't tried it.
    They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them.

    Yup they hide their answers :S

    Why don't you just sign up? It's still free, isn't it?

    Not if you sign up as an expert, then its 100% free. You can then view answers, but not post questions. BUT when you have answered a few questions you get converted to premium status and can then post questions too.

    There are lots of really simple questions that get posted in loads of areas, doesnt take long to find a few to answer, and it helps others at the same time
