 * Many many many thanks to wkor for the guidance.
 * This wasn’t that simple for me!
 * For starters, everything was never working because I had a WP_Object cache running,
   so any changes were still in memory – DOH!
 * Eventually, after copying my custom user and usermeta table to where they *should*
   be, deleting the lines from wp-config.php and destroying the heck out of the 
   custom tables to make sure they weren’t being used at all (I backed up… a lot)…
 * I changed the {blog}_options table to have the new capabilities (*sniff* my custom
   capabilities gone – worth the sacrifice since they were a mess though).
 * Then made a new admin and made that admin modify my other admins to be administrators(
   yeh, it’s stupid, but I’ve been having major problems getting my admins to log
   in again).
 * Anyway, follow wkor’s advice with some slow careful steps, making sure you back-
   everything-the-heck-up. I was at it for a solid 2 hours with my admin account
   not being able to log in, having to make more accounts, modifying files in the
   admin to let myself temporarily back in… I’m over the moon my website is now 
   normal and not a massive hack again. No custom tables. Nada. No hacks. All in
   one prefix. Beautiful.

 * Aha, sounds like we’ve stumbled on the problem.
 * This sounds like it’s really low-down in WordPress…
    Anybody got a clue how to
   get this working or a safe way of getting rid of these custom tables defines?(
   they drive me nuts anyway…)

 * Scrap all that – it only makes the comment box appear, then it tells me that 
   comments are closed upon actually submitting.

 * Ok,
    Sorry to bump/reply to my own topic.
 * I’ve gone into quick-edit and manually adjusted the publish date to today for
   my old posts – and now the comments work.
 * Is this what WordPress is meant to be doing? It seems very odd.

 * Hi,
    Hate to bump, but I’ve been having this problem.
 * I’ve deactivated *every* plugin, retinstalled WordPress, loaded the default 3.0
   theme, loaded a different theme, checked my WordPress memory etc.
 * It all seems to boil down to permissions. Now, I’m using a custom user and meta
   table as defined by:
    define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘blog_users’); define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’,‘
   blog_usermeta’);
 * Is this the root of my problems perhaps?

 * The podcasting plugin also killed my site and is now fixed by simply deleting
   the plugin folder.
