guys bnotd!!!!!

so i guess i'm retarded and it really was my fault i couldn't have comments! 

i got so desperate that i finally just put my problem on the help forum and this nice person knew exactly what was wrong:

"Here is the first place to look. Edit your post with the missing comment box and click Post Options, or (Options in the new interface.) It is possible to turn off comments on a single post, and I think that you will find that you somehow did this on this one. Change the setting and republish (or update.)

Let us know if this succeeded. If not, we will have to investigate other possibilities, but since it is only on one post, this is most likely."

I went and looked at that option and sure enough i had it on "don't allow" in the post options even though my overall setting said allow. thank you kind person who saved the day! i don't ever remember changing that and now i have to just click "allow" every time because it is defaulted to "don't allow" (perhaps google still secretly hates me) but who cares commenting is back! 

 i went back and fixed the last few posts so if you were just dying to comment on this, this, or this - now you can! and this was waaaay more information on this than i'm sure any of you wanted to know but i just wanted to post it in case anybody does the same thing in the future. okay love you bye!
