Comments have gone missing

    My comments have gone missing and I cannot figure out why. The link is still there and goes to http://wynderlon.com/index.php/?p=25#respond (as an example), however when the link is clicked on, it simply shows the post without a form or anything to write new comments. I’ve checked my setting in the Admin area, and comments are enabled everywhere they can be enabled. I have Askimet plugin, and my code for the index.php is:

    	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<font class="blogtitle1"><?php the_title(); ?></font><br>
<font class="navifont1"><?php the_date('', '<b>Date:</b>&nbsp;', ''); ?></font><br><br>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<p class="blogdate"><?php the_time() ?> | Category: <?php the_category(','); ?> | <b><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></b> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="permalink"><img src="/quote.gif"></a><br>
<br><br><br><br>

	<!--
	<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
	-->

		<?php endwhile; ?>

		<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
		</div>

	<?php else : ?>

		<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
		<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.

		<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

    I even tried upgrading to the latest version, but the problem is still there. I’m wondering if I should overwrite my wp-content or if that’ll just cause more problems (since the upgrade directions says not to overwrite wp-content)? Any help would be appreciated, I’ve totally hit a wall!

    I changed the permalink structure and uploaded wp-content again, but neither worked.

    Could it be my .htaccess? Although my entries are archiving fine, when I went to the Manage -> Files -> .htaccess, it said no such file existed.

    I finally found the problem for this. I actually re-installed everything in frustration before figuring it out and it was ridiculously simple. I was just missing some new code, it would seem.

    It’s been a few weeks, but I think the code I was missing was:

    <?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>

    Anyway, when I figured the code out, everything worked fine.
