Thanks Ron - that was a great help and it worked for me too - so I've now read the well-advertised answers to the questions we posed to Matt. It must actually be a problem with that part of the website 'cos the article that's trailed in the same position now has the same problem - ie you get the article above it instead of the one you want. Ironically, the article that's there now that I can't access is about them fixing some of the bugs in the website.......!
Hopefully, Em (or someone else from the Times) can provide the article number and then we can all work out how to circumvent the system in the way you enabled......
So thanks again Ron, and thanks too for your posts in the cycling forum which I've also been reading.
PS Sorry all about the part-post above - not sure how that happened......
