They have known of this issue for months, and still it continues. Sometimes, I get the 'Press and Hold' window - over and over and over. Yet my settings for Java and cookies appear to be fine. Their online support has TWICE said they would report the problem and get back to me. They didn't. I called them last week and left a message. Crickets.
I'll have to cancel if it continues, which would be a shame.
I just encountered the same problem. Cookies unblocked and javascript enabled and still doesn't work.
I love reading an entire article, scrolling through some of the comments and then, out of nowhere after being on an article for 10 minutes or more the PRESS & HOLD comes up!
Not always just when you open an article but long after you had a page open.
OF all the websites I use why is it they cannot get this right? The only other website that I have seen this same check done, except it actually works properly, is I get it maybe once per month on Zillow.
SA - DITCH THIS PLEASE
I get Press and Hold issue even when I am navigating on the website multiple times. Reported this issue 2 weeks ago but this issue has not been fixed yet.
Tally Home 3 months ago
Still doing the same here.
Actually I kinda like it. The press and hold thing acts like a barrier to entry and really makes one question the value of the analysis and commentary on Seeking Alpha.
SA greenfield analysis can be good. The comments can be good when a play is in the early stages and then over time it evolves into information exchanges that are far less useful.
Hi all,
After discussing this with our security team we learnt that many of the Press & Hold occurrences happen to users that are using selenium based automation tools and any kind of user agent spoofing.
We highly discourage this and hence have implemented this security layer.
Please check if the devices being used to access Seeking Alpha are not compromised in any way, or do not have such tools.
I hope this helps, Feel free to reach out in case further assistance is required.
