Or is my Ad Blocker or something on Chrome keeping them from showing? All I get is the three growing and shrinking dots...

Just checked, and it seems to be working fine for me at the moment. I’m on Chrome with AdBlock Plus.

Chrome, no adblock, work firewall. I’m at about 60% first time succ ess rate on the FP and other sites. Oppo seems okay though.

It does that to me sometimes too. It will usually show the comments if I refresh the page. I think it has to do with some big full screen ad they’re trying to get running that I see every once in a while if I don’t have my ad blocker going.

Seems to be working OK for me (Chrome with adblock) right now , but give it a few minutes and it’ll be back to being broken...

I’ve had this issue mostly on my phone with chrome; sometimes I’ve had to reload the article, now it seems to appear if I scroll and load the next article and then back up.

The laptop I’m on FF and Ublock and it hasn’t seemed to have an issue. I f listacle slideshows are going to be a common thing with comments at the end I’m going to cut front page time and hang out in oppo more.

Sometimes I don’t even get those dots.

Are FP Comments Broken?

For a long time. That’s why I stopped contributing to them.

And I just encountered what you mean. A page refresh did the trick for me to fix it.

I stopped when Ballaban banned me to the greys.

Oppo works for me as well, as much as it actually works.

Yes. Comment loading has been a problem for a little while now. It used to only be an issue on Firefox on my laptop and my iPhone used to load reliably. But lately, even the iPhone sometimes takes 3 attempts to load. I find it’s a little better in the evening compared to during the day.

He did that? They let people say the most heinous garbage in those comments each and every day. I can’t imagine anything you could have said.

Refresh once, then if that doesn't work remember it probably wasn't worth it anyway. I comment a decent amount on the FP, but it's a struggle now

Reload the page, does this to me all the time but usually works on second attempt.

I was ballabanned when I called him a master click baiter. And I called him out for calling the quebecois something. He was being an asshole and banned me. He won’t be missed here.

What’s there been to comment on lately?

Consistently and throughly

Finally, a bit of good news in the world.

Little known fact: Ballaban loves exposed fasteners.

Oh yeah, totally bor ked. Especially on mobile.

Is that a way of saying he leaves his fly unzipped?

My comment, verbatim, was “I hate it when I go to cli ck on Jalopnik and hit Jezebel by mistake”.

Something I STILL DO to this day, though I visit here a lot less frequently.

He did strike me as having a Napoleon Complex .

I wanted to tell Torch I had an Odyssey2 growing up and I also hated the racing games.

Was that a joke since he’s like 3 feet tall?

Happens to me too, and it annoys me.
