The publishers of AIM have identified a bug in the new platform.
The following notice has been issued: When a user closes an article PDF after viewing, saving or printing, a box will appear asking users to purchase. USERS CAN IGNORE THAT BOX. The PDF will still be accessible and can be saved or printed out. The bug should be fixed by Tuesday, June 19th.
