Known issues on the new Harpers.org:
• Subscribers who have purchased multiple subscriptions in the past under the same email address are experiencing a “duplicate email address” error when attempting to log in. We expect to have this fixed by early next week. As a short-term solution, you can switch to an alternate email address in customer care.
• International subscribers who don’t have their account numbers are unable to sign in to set a password. To resolve this, please email PRScustserv@cdsfulfillment.com and request your account number.
• Encoding errors on some special characters. For instance, you may spot strange black quadrilaterals where diareses ought to be. Be grateful, when you encounter these, that you’re not on nëwyörkër.cöm.
• Markdown (e.g., _italics_) occasionally appears instead of formatted text in searchable Findings and Index results.
• Duplicate records appear in some archival tables of contents.
1. Typographers, we sympathize with the internet’s shameful treatment of you.
• Footnote appearance and positioning are sometimes off.1
• Site search is still not as deep and relevant as we’d like. We expect also to add more advanced-search options in the coming weeks.
• Index and Findings search results are not yet ordered by date.
• HTML showing up in bios at bottom of some articles.
• No paragraph breaks in permanent author biographies.
• Drop caps are misaligned in some browsers.
• A handful of pre-1910 archive issues are not yet online.
• HTML versions of many previously available archive articles—both ones that were only available to subscribers and ones that were open to all web readers—have not yet been migrated. We will gradually restore them in the coming weeks.
• Similarly, if you’re a renowned author and an article you wrote for us isn’t yet listed on the Harper’s Finest page, please take a deep breath, stroke your National Book Award, and lend us your patience.
• There appears to be significant lag time between when subscribers create a new password in Customer Care and when they’re able to log in on Harpers.org.
• The site is loading quite slowly.
If you encounter any other issues, please let us know in the comments below, or by emailing webmaster@harpers.org. We’ll update this page as we fix problems and learn of new ones. Thanks all.
