Hi there - I've noticed that even though "enable comments" is selected for my pages, there is no comment link on the page itself - the user interface side of it. I'd really like this feature available for my users.
What to do?
I'm using BPScholar latest and WPMU latest.

that's it - sorry, terminology gets all mixed up with the hundreds of things I am doing at the same time, not to mention the chattering kids around me! :) submit comment button is missing ... :)
I'm assuming then that this is a bpscholar glitch ??

ok - I noticed this - it has the submit button if I am logged in. If I am not logged in, it has the submit comment form, but no button. There is NO comment form at all (logged in or not) if the post is using a 3-column template, even with the code you gave me in page.php

@Cratar: No it's not 'glitch' some themes have comments on pages others do not and Scholar doesn't by default. I'm not sure why you'd be missing the submit button mind you if you do add that code in. If you look on the default buddypress theme it doesn't actually have comments on pages for instance. Some of our themes do and Scholar doesn't. However, I just turned it on and the latest theme version has it as just uploaded it and get a submit button and everything so assume something wrong in your implementing of the function and / or you've not turned comments on for your pages on a page by page basis. Please check that as works fine for me with the updated files.

ok - fixed my problem - the sidebar widget (rss feed) was overlapping and covering the submit button. But my 3-column issue remains - do I put in the same code as above?

@Tammie - thanks! uploaded it, works just fine now :) I like that the comments are loaded by default as it's easier to uncheck the comment box in the page setup than it is to delve in and replace code :) Appreciate you changing that! :)
