 * Hi, I recently had a new theme designed for my website. However, I have one problem.
   The comments do not work. When I click the permalink in every post title (which
   should take you to the comments for that article), the page simply shows the 
   post on it’s own page, without the comments displayed below (or a comment form,
   for that matter). This happens despite being told that there are comments on 
   an article.
 * My theme does not have a comments template, but according to the wordpress theme
   guides, it should use a default template automatically if one isnt provided. 
   But that’s not happening. Help!

 * I am also having this problem… I’m currently just testing everything out as the
   site is not fully up, but I noticed the same exact thing.
