Ah. Thanks for the clarification. Must be coincidence that every one I clicked on yesterday required a login.
Thanks much.
But is it necessary to limit viewing to members of Facebook? I’ve visited plenty of FB pages without being required to have an account.
Thanks again.
I believe that’s individual to the account the story link comes from.
Please don’t tease me with links that require me to log into Facebook. I do not have an account with them, I do not want one, and I will not get one.
Thank you very much.
Sorry, but there’s a lot of fannish activity that takes place on Facebook.
