I posted a test comment on the first article in the topic, but I don't see it. "Comments Enabled" is selected in the Story editor.

Text Formatted Code
// Comment Settings
$_CONF['commentspeedlimit'] = 45;

$_CONF['comment_mode'] = 'threaded'; // Default Comment Mode; from 'th$
// Allow / disallow comments to stories by default (can be changed individually$
$_CONF['comment_code'] = 0; // 0 = comments enabled, -1 = disabled
$_CONF['commentsloginrequired'] = 0;
The comment counter next to the topic name in the left block doesn't increment either.
I had user themes off, I turned it back on to use a theme I haven't customized, but it's still broken. I must be missing something. Any ideas?
