I just setup my blog yesterday and everything was running smoothly. I modified a few files trying to get Alex King's Wp_Grins working (even though it's not supposed to work with 1.5 yet I don't think...) So it gave me errors and I removed the wp_grins stuff. My comments still worked after that. But this morning I logged on and tried clicking around for comments but all it does is add the "#comments" at the end of the post uri in the address bar and hop down a few lines where the comments box would normally be. So, in short, the comments form is not showing up. I've installed a fresh copy of WP as well to attempt to fix the problem.

Grins does work in 1.5.1.2 / 1.5.1 / 1.5
Check your theme has all the correct files ?

Yep. I redownloaded and reuploaded everything.
I think this is probably a missing template tag, not a problem with wp-grins. Check and make sure that your template is calling for the comment file.
<?php comments_template(); ?>

Yes its calling the comments but its just not showing up...
1. Does it work with all plugins deactivated?
2. Does it work in the Default or Classic Theme?

Nope it still doesn't after all that... Arg.
I think I may just completely wipe everything wordpress related off my site (backing up the databases of course) and then see if that works.
Hmmm... there is something wrong with your permalinks or some other settings. Why is that when clicking on a post's title it takes you to a monthly archive instead of the single post view? I assume not having the comment form displayed is related to this.

I had something like this happen - the theme I was using, was using the index.php template to show a single post. Since index.php doesn't display the list of comments, the comments weren't displaying. When I dropped a single.php into my theme (which does display the list of comments), everything was good again.
