    I have just installed 3.1.1 on a new site and for some reason, when you create a page it does not give you the option to turn OFF comments - I have missed something as it used to be an option when you were creating the page?

    that topic is plenty in the forum - wonder, that the forum search didn't return any solutions.

    if you don't see the option for individual pages, click the 'screen options' tab on the 'edit page' page; then tick the 'discussion' box there; this should open the 'discussion' field below the page editor, where you can disable the comments.

    alchymyth... your reply confuses me even more...

    If I go to the 'Pages' option on the menu, there is no 'screen options, if I select a single page to edit, there are no 'screen options' and if I even select 'edit' and open up the page to edit it, there are no 'screen options''

    Tell me sir please - where the hell are these 'screen' options you refer to lol...!!

    alchymyth - I found the section you referred to thanks however it is not this...

    In another website I run under version 3.1.0 when I edit a page, underneath the main text area are options such as 'Custom Fields', 'Turn off Comments', 'Allow Trackback and Pingbacks' and now all these options have disappeared so I am unable to create a page in WordPress 3.1.1 without someone being able to comment on it...!!!

    Try looking at the very top of any Edit Post or Edit Page.

    The "Comments" module can be hidden away under "Screen Options" in posts or pages editor.

    Here's where it is in the markup...
