Starting this past week I can't post comments to any site that uses Facebook such as USA Today.

At FiveThirtyEight.com I can't even read the comments.
I only have a Facebook account for posting comments and my Chrome Book was working fine for it just last week so did Facebook do something to my account without letting me know?

and personal information to register. So, while I used to get upset at missing videos and other linked content, I'm just reconciled.

Sorry, I can't help. I can appreciate that it is frustrating for those who might have used it in the past.

I had to log in to Facebook again, and here to post also, but I was able to read and comment on sites that use FB for their comments. Loading comments on USA Today was much faster because before it seemed like it would need to load every advertising site on the internet to even see the comments.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
