   I can't get comment counts to work. I tried comments_popup_link and comments_number but they always show no comments. This is on a page using query_posts. I saw the http://wordpress.org/support/topic/162559 is_page fix but it does not work. I thought it might be query_posts but I saw several examples using comments_popup_link so I assume that it should work. Here is my code in question:

   <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
   <?php $temp_query = $wp_query; ?>
   <?php query_posts($query_string.'showposts=200&orderby=date&order=DESC&cat=-16'); ?>
   <ul id="ArticleList">
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
     <li class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
     	 <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
     	 <?php
   
   global $post;
   $default_size = 'medium';
   
   $attachments = get_children( array('post_parent' => $post->ID, 'post_status' => 'inherit', 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image', 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'menu_order ID', 'numberposts' => 1) );
   if($attachments) :
   	foreach($attachments as $id => $attachment) :
   		$img = wp_get_attachment_image_src($id, $default_size);
   	endforeach;
   else :
   	$img=null;
   endif;
   ?>
   
   	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img src="<?php echo ($img[0]);?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>
   
       <small>By <a href="mailto:<?php the_author_email();?>"><?php the_author_firstname(); ?> <?php the_author_lastname(); ?></a></small>
        | <small>Date posted: <?php the_date(); ?></small><br />
        <span class="NumComments"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>#comments"><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></a> </span>
        <ol class="commentlist">
   <?php wp_list_comments(); ?>
   </ol>
   
   	<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
   </li>
   
         <?php endwhile; ?>
    </ul>
   	</div>

   I've discovered what the problem is, but I don't know how to fix it. The code I'm using to pull the first image from each post causes the comment count to break. I don't know what in it is doing that, or if there is an alternate to pull the first image.
   Here is the code that is breaking things:
   

   <?php
   
   global $post;
   $default_size = 'medium';
   
   $attachments = get_children( array('post_parent' => $post->ID, 'post_status' => 'inherit', 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image', 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'menu_order ID', 'numberposts' => 1) );
   if($attachments) :
   	foreach($attachments as $id => $attachment) :
   		$img = wp_get_attachment_image_src($id, $default_size);
   	endforeach;
   else :
   	$img=null;
   endif;
   
   ?>

   Figured out a solution, if anyone runs into this in the future. changed the method in which I get images to:
   

   $images = get_children( array('post_parent' => $post->ID, 'post_status' => 'inherit', 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image', 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'menu_order ID', 'numberposts' => 1) );
   foreach ( $images as $attachment_id => $attachment ) :
   		$img = wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment_id, 'medium');
   	endforeach;

   I don't know why this is better, but it doesn't screw up the comment count. Here is the whole thing:
   

   <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
   <?php $temp_query = $wp_query; ?>
   <?php query_posts('showposts=200&orderby=date&order=DESC&cat=-16'); ?>
   <ul id="ArticleList">
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
     <li class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
     	 <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
     	 <?php
   
   $images = get_children( array('post_parent' => $post->ID, 'post_status' => 'inherit', 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image', 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'menu_order ID', 'numberposts' => 1) );
   foreach ( $images as $attachment_id => $attachment ) :
   		$img = wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment_id, 'medium');
   	endforeach;
   
   ?>
   
   	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img src="<?php echo ($img[0]);?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>
   
       <small>By <a href="mailto:<?php the_author_email();?>"><?php the_author_firstname(); ?> <?php the_author_lastname(); ?></a></small>
        | <small>Date posted: <?php the_date(); ?></small><br />
        <span class="NumComments"> <?php comments_popup_link('<span class="CommentWord">No Comments</a>', '<span class="CommentNumber">1</span> <span class="CommentWord">Comment</a>', '<span class="CommentNumber">%</span> <span class="CommentWord">Comments</a>'); ?>
    </span>
   
   	<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
   </li>
   
         <?php endwhile; ?>
    </ul>
   	</div>
