Comments turning themselves off

  I’ve had a couple of posts lately where I’ve noticed that the comments have been switched off. I certainly didn’t do that.

  Has anyone else encountered this? I have gone back in and changed the setting for each post in the blue Discussion box; both “allow comments” and “allow pingbacks” were disabled until I re-enabled them.

  This is one of the posts to which that happened. Sorry, can’t recall the other one. All posts on my site should have comments enabled at all times, so I’m at a loss to see how this happened.

  Not a clue. You might want to point this out to staff via feedback.

  Thanks, I will if it happens again. Weirdness, but very rare weirdness.

  This is happening to me, and I can’t find any way to solve it.
  :(
  It started from this post: http://lifepbs.wordpress.com/2006/09/09/10-questions-to-ask-before-you-join-a-new-job/
  and now I can’t find any way to turn comments on, although they’re turned on in my “Manage” options.
  Anyone know what to do?

  Sorry – we have a bug. It is being tracked down though so it should go soon. Until then you need to edit the post and re-open the commenting.

  ugh!
  but thanx for pointing out that it’s a bug, as a new blogger I was starting to panic about not being able to do anything right :)
  btw, i’ve tried (often) to edit and re-open commenting, but that doesn’t work either :(
