   hi there
   I seem to have picked up some unwanted forward slash signs at the bottom of every page on my site

   see here for an example:
   http://www.itstravel.co.uk/contact-us/

   I know its something to do with editing one of the php files but can't see to find where the '*/' and '/*' text is to be found and deleted.

   Can anyone help??

   Thanks! :)

   Check this leftover of editing:
   

   <div class="comment_section">
             <!--Start Comment list-->
             /*<!-- You can start editing here. -->
   <div id="commentsbox">
   	</div>
   */
             <!--End Comment Form-->
           </div>

   As can be seen, it is in comment form.

   where? the comments.php file doesn't show that code and I can't see the */ text in it anywhere

   <?php
   	if (!empty($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) && 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
   		die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
   	if ( post_password_required() ) { ?>
   <p class="nocomments"><?php _e('This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.','colorway'); ?></p>
   <?php
   		return;
   	}
   ?>
   <!-- You can start editing here. -->
   <div id="commentsbox">
   <?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
   	<h3 id="comments"><?php comments_number('No Responses', 'One Response', '% Responses' );?><?php _e('so far.','colorway'); ?></h3>
   	<ol class="commentlist">
   		<?php wp_list_comments(); ?>
   	</ol>
   	<div class="comment-nav">
   		<div class="alignleft">
   			<?php previous_comments_link() ?>
   		</div>
   		<div class="alignright">
   			<?php next_comments_link() ?>
   		</div>
   	</div>
   <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
   	<?php if ( ! comments_open() && ! is_page() ) : ?>
   		<?php _e('','colorway'); ?>
   	<?php endif; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>
   <?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
   	<div id="comment-form">
   		<?php comment_form(); ?>
   	</div>
   <?php endif; // if you delete this the sky will fall on your head ?>
   </div>

   where are you referring to that I need to go to to take out the */ bit?

   Part of what I quoted can be seen in the above:
   

   <!-- You can start editing here. -->
   <div id="commentsbox">

   Anyway, you can check it with Firebug + Firefox and see the code on the page quoted by you.

   I have the same problem but I have got comments turned off so I don't think that the fault is in my comments.php
