CURIOUS ? Can you answer this question ?

Do you have to be a member of the Huffington Post to read the comments that are posted ???

When I scroll down for comments, I see the word CONVERSATIONS in all caps.

I was a member until they forced their members to join FaceBook.

Visitors could always read the comments section.

I am confused as to what is going on.

Thank you in advance.

Do you see the line below where it says "Conversations" with a number of comments on the left and then on the right the "add comments" there? If not, maybe the article you're reading doesn't have any comments posted to it yet?

I clicked on the article title. No comments.

I clicked on the comments. No comments.

When I scroll down the ONLY thing showing on my screen is the word conversations in all caps.

Could my internet conection not be loading all the information ???

I enjoy reading the comments.

This is frustrating.

Thanks for your input.

Have a great weekend.

I use it to sign up for offers through Tapjoy so I don't get spammed to death.

My first attempt, I tried using "Jason Bourne" and it kicked it back saying it wasn't real. I used a generic gmail email too.

I tried several more times.

Could my internet provider be having trouble on their end ???

Could the page not be loading all the information ???

I enjoy reading the comments and this is frustrating.
