Fold3 access from Family Search

So suddenly today the link doesn't work and every open page results in a request to subscribe or log in. I have been using this source a lot and this is a real frustration. Course I could pay the subscription rate at Fold3...

    @DrCDE DrCDE​ 

    .

    FYI

    .

    I do not know about access to "Fold3", through 'FamilySearch', from Home ...

    [ As, I have never been able to access "Fold3" through 'FamilySearch from Home ]

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    As far as I was aware, Users/Patrons can STILL get access to "Fold3" at/through a "Family History Centre" of the Church (and, possibly, an "Affiliate" Library), around the World.

    .

    Well, the latter was the case yesterday; as, a User/Patron of our "Family History Centre" was accessing "Fold3" through one of the "Family History Centre" computers - I know, as I was helping them.

    .

    Unless something has changed between yesterday and today ...

    .

    Just my thoughts.

    .

    At my FHC, I can't I find Fold3, newspapers.com or the other extremely useful websites. Why has FamilySearch destroyed the Portal?

    @BillBarrett

    Bill

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    [ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]

    [ And, I have been a Staff Member, of Family History Centres", of the Church, for many Years ... ]

    Just in passing ...

    You are not alone ...

    This appears to be a KNOWN problem/issue.

    You may want to look at the response (ie. "Comment'), from a "Moderator" [ ie. 'FamilySearch' "Support" ( Personnel ) in this recent post, earlier today:

    FamilySearch Help

    'Category' = Family History Centers

    HOME > FAMILYSEARCH HELP > FAMILY HISTORY CENTERS

    Access Newspapers.com from the Family History Center Portal

    https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/118665/access-newspapers-com-from-the-family-history-center-portal

    https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/118665/access-newspapers-com-from-the-family-history-center-portal

    And ...

    The 'Comment':

    For now, this is the portal page and all that is accessible, A report has been submitted to the engineers. How long this will last is unknown, please be patient.

    https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/comment/434392/#Comment_434392

    https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/comment/434392#Comment_434392

    I know, that this certainly may not help/assist; but, I hope, that this may provide you with, some additional, insight; and, perspective.
