OK I think I was able to find the solution.
Under Options > General tab in the admin there is a setting for membership. In my install the option for “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” was selected by default. I simply unchecked the box and now people can comment and see comments.
Hope this helps everyone.
I am having the same problem on my installed of word press as PraveenC1. nobody can leave a comment without logging in. I would like everyone to be able to post a comment if they so desire.
Any help would be appreciated. http://www.lymanuniverse.com is the url.
I am using MistyLook 3.3.1 theme.
Thanks
