Can't view comments on FT article
 
I've been reading the current FT "article" about the Qatar incident where all women on a flight to Australia were forced to deplane at DOH and undergo an invasive exam to check for recent pregnancy/childbirth (BTW, much more traumatizing than a mere "brief exam" as the (male) author of the article described the situation). When I click on the blue bar at the bottom of the article to view comments (4), I get a message saying that I must log in to comment.

However, I'm not trying to post a comment to the article, just to read the four comments that others have already posted. And I *am* logged in to my FT account.

Why can't I read these comments on the article?

I'll ask, but also try clearing your cache.

It's possible that the comments were made, but not approved by the editor.

I also can’t see the comments on any of the topics, and I have logged in just to see if that would make a difference..it doesn’t

I have the same issue. Can't see the comments on any article. Have tried on 2 different PCs.

This issue appears to be unresolved. Any ideas on when it might be fixed?

I have just contacted our tech and editorial teams about this

It's to do with ad-blocking software I believe. See my other thread in this section. I have to disable all content blockers to see the contents of threads. It's something that's only happened in the last week or so.

My Adblocker is turned off for FlyerTalk. Maybe I have to uninstall Adblocker (which won't be happening).

It doesn't have anything to do with blocking plug-ins.

Same issue. Tried Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Also tried on PC and iPad. Happens (or doesn't happen) everywhere.

Comments should now be usable/viewable

There has certainly been a change - now it's worse. Previously clicking on Comments took me to the comments section, but I couldn't see any comments. Now, clicking on Comments does nothing.

Mine are working..thanks

Woodg, try clearing cache and/or whitelisting FT on any content blockers you may be running
