 * I have my site visible externally ie people can see my posts but when they click
   reply or the comment icon it says page not available. I am on wordpress for synology
   diskstation ds411+.
 * I think my settings are ok in wordpress but not sure what to do now. help would
   be appreciated as i am almost there now i think.

 * i note that if i am logged in it allows me to comment but i am sure i let the
   settings say a user does not need to be registered to leave a comment.

   they appear on the frontend.
