No field names for comments

  I am using a version that is not 2.7.1 for my blog and am having trouble with the comment settings. I want users to supply their email and name when posting a comment, which I checked in my settings. When I go to comment to test it, it supplies the fields, but it doesn’t list the field name. So there are 4 empty boxes and readers are not going to know what to fill in where (ie. email, name, website, etc.). I checked the html and I see that the field names are in there:

  <?php else : ?>

  <p><label for=”name”>Name <?php if ($req) echo “(required)”; ?></label>
  <input type=”text” name=”author” id=”name” value=”<?php echo $comment_author; ?>” size=”50″ tabindex=”1″ /></p>

  <p><label for=”email”>Email Address <?php if ($req) echo “(required)”; ?></label>
  <input type=”text” name=”email” id=”email” value=”<?php echo $comment_author_email; ?>” size=”50″ tabindex=”2″ /></p>

  <p><label for=”url”>Website</label>
  <input type=”text” name=”url” id=”url” value=”<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>” size=”50″ tabindex=”3″ /></p>

  <?php endif; ?>

  Any ideas?
