Comments "Expired"

I want to turn comments on for my blog – but when i went to each post to check the “allow” comments radio button – the buttons weren’t there and it just said “Expired”.

What does this mean and how can I get my comments turned on?

Go to Admin > Preferences and look at the setting for ‘Disabled after’ (under Comments). You might want to set it to ‘never’.

All I have in the “Comments” section is:

Require user’s name?
Require user’s e-mail address?

And I don’t see anything like that under the “Publish” Section of Admin > Preferences

It’s in basic preferences, not advanced.

Are you running an older version of TXP? Does this FAQ help?

Thanks – I needed to upgrade to the latest version.
