# Classic Theme Commentform Bug

 * In Classic 1.5 theme, comments.php has a bug.
 * When there is no comments, a message is shown ‘No comments yet.’
    That’s OK for
   most cases, but,
 * If a post does not accept comments, it is also shown ‘No comments yet.’
 * This occurs because the number of comments is checked, as shown below.
 *     ```
       Line 17: <?php if ( $comments ) : ?>
       ...
       Line 31: <?php else : // If there are no comments yet ?>
       Line 32:     <?php _e('No comments yet.'); ?>
       Line 33: <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * I think ‘Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.’ is a better message,
   if comments are NOT accepted.
