How do I turn off comments for an article
I do not see this option within the Write tab.
Thanks

Re: How do I turn off comments for an article
- Click the “More” link in the right column in the Write tab.
- Select “No”
This will only show up if you’ve got “Accept comments” set to “Yes” in Admin>Preferences.

How do I get comments to default to yes ? In admin/preferences I have comments turned on, but when I view the article and hover over the comments icon nothing is clickable.

Go back to your admin prefs and you’ll find a setting for this.

I found it under admin/preferences. So now the comments work, but its indicating an e-mail and name are required even though I have these selected to no in admin/preferences/advanced
Thanks

You can’t turn the email and name requirement off for comments.

Re: How do I turn off comments for an article
So the Texpattern help is incorrect ?
TEXTPATTERN HELP
Comments require name
If set to yes, people that want to comment on your blog, will have to enter a name in the comment-form. They will get an error-message otherwise.

No, that is how those preferences work.
Works okay for me: I can simply enter a message, nothing else, and it posts the comment just fine. All I can guess is some sort of strange caching is going on? Try clearing it.

Re: How do I turn off comments for an article
I think my problem is I recently loaded a new Textpattern template and part of the instructions was to load 19 forms some of which overwrote the comments forms I initially installed from tp 4.0.4. The new comments form is looking for cookies rather than my comments settings in the tp admin section.
How can I get a copy of the original comment forms which came from tp 4.0.4. When I take a look at all my files from 4.04 (save to a local drive) I do not see any forms.
