Pertaining to G78S-758
Why are two GenealogyBank records telling me that they cannot be shown to me because of account issues? Why bother aligning prospective records, if they ultimately cannot be attached?

Oy. Well, that's friendly. Not.
I'm accustomed to GenealogyBank obituaries being annoying, since their indexing tends to be highly questionable, and I don't have the right subscription to check them with. But hints that I can't actually view is a new one, and I'm pretty sure it's a bug. It shouldn't do that.
I wonder: would someone with an LDS account see something different? Here's the link to the profile, to make it easier to check: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/G78S-758.

Hmm - and I have a subscription to GenealogyBank, so I can normally see any GBank hints.
My best guess is that the hints are from a newspaper that is no longer in the GenealogyBank portfolio. Over time, newspaper contracts with the majors (GBank, newspapers dot com, newspaperarchive) change. Last year, one of my most-used sources was removed from GBank and moved to another provider.
Here's a share link to the obit on newspapers dot com: https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-daily-nonpareil-obituary-for-howard/139524882/
For what it's worth - there are notices from several papers on GBank, but they are not as thorough as the one I posted, above. And they are extracted transcriptions, not the image from the newspaper page.

@Joachim Hawn If you want, I can give you share links to the versions I can access on GenealogyBank. The links will only be valid for 30 days, but you can download and save the record from the share links. Just let me know.

I get the same results as well and I'm signed in with an LDS account.
