Was using for last month using Wexford 8000.. number now expired have tried using 90000000 not working any suggestions

A random 8-digit number starting with 3 was working for me until a few days ago. Now it still works, but I can only see the front page of each magazine or newspaper. When I try to read any articles it just goes back to the main page.

Any ideas how long it takes a magazine to appear on the app? 3days and no sign yet

New Home · 15-11-2019 5:26pm

It should be instantaneous, AFAIK, but I stand to be corrected. It definitely is on the webpage, anyway.

Is it possible that 12 months have passed since your card was physically scanned into the system at your local library?

If you don’t present it at least once a year in the flesh, so to speak, then the online services stop working till you scan it at the library again.

duridian · 02-01-2020 4:16pm

Gone for me now as well on all devices, and I’ve definitely used my card at library recently.
Don’t know what’s the cause. They just have a ropey system I guess.

Arthur Daley · 02-01-2020 4:26pm

No, working away with the proper library number for me.

BTW this is Bargain Alert of the decade.

Thanks.
Yep. It’s awesome when it works properly.
Glad to hear yours is working ok. That at least means they haven’t stopped it completely and it may be just a glitch for some libraries or cards.
I’m using a Kerry library card. May I ask what county your card is from, Arthur Daley?

Arthur Daley · 02-01-2020 6:30pm

Dublin is working away fine

Not working for me either. Can log in but can only see front page of publications.

Soon as I use the next page button, or click something in the table of contents, it redirects me to some kind of "Your favorite (sic) news" page with a load of articles from Canadian news sources!

Something gone very fubar. Pressdisplay UI is horrendous compared to the proper Pressreader apps or website, but it would tide me over till the main services worked again for me. Now even that's gone.

The only library newspaper thing I have now is that Proquest thing that Kerry Library website links.
Proquest is like the love child of Windows 2.0 and a Motorola WAP phone from 1998.
No use whatsover. It can't find anything unless you know the exact headline of the article you are seeking, and even then it fails a lot o the time. No images, no formatting unless you count a plain text file as formatting.

I tried the link on the 1st post of this thread just now and I came up with a blank page. Then I noticed there was a warning to say the page was not secure. I changed the URL from http://library.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/viewer.aspx to https

/library.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/viewer.aspx and it worked ok again. Could your problem be similar?

duridian · 03-01-2020 12:17am

Unfortunately no.

https isn't staying set for me on Pressdisplay, it keeps bouncing back to http as soon as I press enter and the page loads. Tried it on Chrome and Firefox. same result.

I suspect there is something up with the card database of the library or something, because I had to get a new library number a few years ago as the older number stopped working with the Borrowbox ebook service, and nothing the librarians tried would revive the card number on that service, even though it worked for RBDigital magazines service.

New Home · 03-01-2020 12:26am

Have you tried with the number 9000000 instead?

Same Issue. The Pressreader app library login stopped working for me on New Year's Day.

Library card does not login when you enter the pin. Instead when you click on a newspaper it asks you to confirm that you want to pay for it.

Tried a second library card and had same issue.

Checked my library card on Borrowbox app and it is showing as out of date. So I will need to go to the library to do a card renewal and see whether that resolves it.

whoami1 · 03-01-2020 4:29pm

It's working for me again, but wasn't yesterday. I found that my library card number didn't work for me, but a random 8-digit number starting with 3 works fine.

Trevord · 03-01-2020 5:55pm

Can't get the old Pressdisplay site or the Pressreader app to work.:mad:

What is really annoying about this is that the county library structure is now supposed to be a fully integrated national library service.

Yet Pressreader still seems to be offered by only a handful of county libraries around the country.

spurious · 03-01-2020 5:59pm

9000000 just worked for me.
My actual library card number didn't.

For Pressdisplay website only? I got in there just now but earlier it was kicking me out.

I presume this 9000000 number doesn't work to access the Pressreader app?

spurious · 03-01-2020 6:14pm

I didn't try the app, just the website.

Tried it, yesterday but it was not working for me on anything, whether apps or website.

Tried it again just now on the Pressdisplay version of website and it seemed to work, as I can access pages of the Irish Independent other than the cover.

Thanks for the tip. Hope the other version returns, but this will keep me going for now.
Cheers!

For those still having issuing logging into the Pressreader App with their library card.

I called into my local library branch after work today.

The librarian confirmed that my card had expired at the end of the year. It took her just a few seconds to reactivate it. From what I could see on her monitor she just advanced the expiry date by a year.

Just tried to login with PressReader using the card and it works now again.

duridian · 09-01-2020 2:16pm

My library card seems to be working fine in Pressreader app again today.

I guess it was some bug or glitch after all, which probably went unnoticed until now by library service due to the Christmas break.
