Is there a way to close comments, instead of turning them off and then deleting them?

I recall this subject came up before, maybe a few months ago, but I can’t find any information on it….

OK…

I’ve got articles running at the moment, with commenting switched ‘on’.
I want to switch the comments ‘off’, but without deleting the comments already received……

Re: close comments

Switching comments ‘off’ for an article doesn’t delete already existing comments. Is it possible that you think it does because you have your comments inside an if_comments_allowed conditional? (that would make them disappear on switching them ‘off’.

As far as I know, its a basic configuration so if what you say is correct, thats the problem solved.
I didnt realise it was that simple ;)
