Bump
Interesting update, earlier youtube was running slow (i have a few youtube videos embedded using the smart youtube plugin) and when I clicked on the comments links on the index page during this time it worked fine.
After youtube fixed whatever problem it was having, my index page loaded normally and the comments links stopped working.
So on a hunch, I reloaded the index page and quickly clicked on the comments link before the page fully loaded and it worked! So that leads me to believe that there is might be something wrong with the index page somewhere. I disabled the plugins, deleted my posts, and the problem remained.
Below is my index.php. I'd really appreciate any help on it. I have no idea how a click on a link won't register at all.
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<div id="content">
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div class="title">
<div class="time"><span> <?php the_time('F-j-y'); ?> </span></div>
<h2>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="date"><span>posted by <?php the_author(); ?></span> </div>
</div>
<div class="cover">
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
<div class="tags"><?php if (function_exists('the_tags')) { ?>Tags: <?php the_tags('', ', ', ''); ?>
<?php } ?></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="postmetadata">
<div class="alignleft">#comments">Comments (<?php comments_number('0','1','%'); ?>)</div>
<div class="alignright"> TOP </div>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Previous Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries »') ?></div>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<div class="post">
<h1 class="title">Not Found</h1>
<p>YOU are looking for something that ISN'T HERE.</p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
