Why can't I open this article?

I'm new to Pentax User. I opened the Newsletter from my email Inbox. An article headed "Why do people choose Pentax Digital SLRs?" looked interesting but, before I could read it I was required to login. Despite using all combinations of capitals and smalls, my username and/or password was deemed incorrect, so I went through the process of changing my login details, and from the email that showed the changes I made a screenshot and saved it my Documents so as not to get tit wrong again. After successfully login on using my new login details I clicked on to the article about why people choose Pentax DSLRs, but all I got was a blank page where the article text should have been. All the logos and the Pentax User banner were there but no article. Can anyone say what I am doing wrong?

Many of the articles are viewable as part of the Pentax User Plus membership, so you would need to pay the £9.95 per annum to have access to these and some other sections of the site.

If you click on the PU Plus banner on the right then it will explain all about it.
Best regards, John

The 'premium service' links should warn the visitor in advance that they are part of the 'premium service'. I clicked on some links the other day was 'slightly' annoyed to have my time wasted.

I only noticed I needed to subscribe to User Plus after I had posted my comment. I'm afraid it was a case of not seeing the wood for the trees, there was so much text on my screen I failed to spot it. I have now paid my dues and become a member. Best wishes to all.
