It's past nine am here in Australia and I am being sent off to subscription screen now and again too.  It is annoying.

From the link

 It will run from 9am (Irish and British time) on Friday 7 September to 23:59pm on Monday 10 September.

I was hoping to search the Newspapers, but apparently they are not included

I read on another forum that "Existing subscribers will see their subscriptions extended. " However I can't see that anywhere on the FindMyPast site.

I just checked my subscription to FindMyPast.com...and it has been extended for 3 extra days :)

I was hoping for newspapers too but whilst I managed to open one item it wouldn't let me open another = confirmed not included.

Mine hasn't, but I'm only on a one-month sub.  Bit mean of them.

I am signed in, but cannot seem to access the records.   It sends me to the subscriptions page.

Not sure about anyone else - I have World Pro membership (and have had for 3 years), and my term has also been extended by 3 days.  Well done FindMyPast - at last we are being compensated   :D :D

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

My subscription has not been extended  ??? I've sent them an email to ask why, wonder how long I'll have to wait for a reply!
