My Comments link had been active until just recently. Now it says Comments Off and I've checked the page where this is administered and everything looks okay - but it's not. How do I get commenting turned back on?

Well each post has an allow comments box, and it can be turned on and off individually. So I think that if the default was set to off, all posts made in that time would show that, and you would need to manually go through and recheck the box.
I too have experienced this -- immediately after my upgrade from 1.5 to 2.02... the default comment status in the database is 'open'. I did install Akismet -- maybe that's got something to do with it? I can reenable Pings and Comments manually on each post but that's a drag.
Ok I fixed my copy in the end just by changing the form that I used -- the advanced editing form was actually what I wanted in any case.
So it's something up with the basic form; no matter.
