On the post edit page for those posts, ensure that commenting is enabled for the posts. Check this section of the Codex for details and screenshots of what you should be looking for.

Thank you. I still can’t see what is wrong on the individual posts, but I was able to use the Bulk Edit method to enable comments on all of the posts that were not showing a comment box.
So, I’m fixed, and thank you.

My WP site (http://www.gamergeoff.com) has several users who are in the Authors groups, and for most of them, the site works as I would expect it to work.
But for a couple of them, their posts appear without a Comments box. I have viewed the posts in detail and cannot see anything different from any other posts. I can add comments to the posts myself, the “Comments” area in the post editing form work, but obviously that is not available to regular users.
I’ve spent a lot of time looking at the posts in edit mode, and the author’s user accounts, and I cannot see what is different.
Help?
