  I have unchecked “Allow people to post comments on new articles” in Discussion options, but the “Leave a Comment »” link still appears on posts (When clicking Leave a Comment » there is no comment option, so they are turned off . Shouldn’t this language change or disappear upon setting no comments as a default? Is there a way to control this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  That’s an oversight in some themes. The only thing you can do, other than switching to another theme, is report it to staff so they fix it.

  just a suggestion: in case you had commenting active before: try deleting cookies and history. might be an old temporary file messing it up for you.
  I checked http://cbsprototype.wordpress.com/ and only the first post allows commenting for me. not sure tho if that’s the blog you’re talking about. if not post the link then it’s possible to see if others also get the ‘post comment’ option even though you turned it off. :)

  @sanshiru: that’s the blog cbsprototype was talking about; not the theme he was originally using, though.
