but this doesnt seem to be the case with me. the discussion box doesnt show up when editing pages, and it isnt an option to display on the screen options tab.
I am using the default Twenty Eleven 1.2 theme. Could this be the issue?
I havent had time to troubleshoot that bit. BUT, I did:
1. go to "all pages"
2. selected all pages and did "bulk edit"
3. selected comments "do not allow" and then saved
still nothing. any other suggestions ? Im a bit on a time crunch because the site needs to launch soon. I may try to hide it on pages via CSS

Hiya,
Just checking if it was eventually resolved in another thread? Or by yourself separately to us? Or by us over email with you? Or using our live support?
If so, no need to reply, that's great news.
If not, could you let us know by re-opening this topic, and we'll get onto it and helping you out asap!
Otherwise, happy days, glad you got it sorted :)

Hiya!
Ultimate Facebook simply follows the WordPress settings for comments.
So, to turn comments of on pages, go into the edit screen and click on Screen Options in the top-right. Then check the Discussion box:

Then, a box will appear below the editor window called "Discussion" and you just need to ensure Allow comments is unchecked:

Thanks!

Are you using the most recent version of WordPress (v3.2.1) too?

Okay, can you try disabling all plugins and reverting to the default theme and see if that screen options tab includes the Discussion option please?
It *should* be there so something must be removing it....

Yep, it sounds like your theme is calling the relevant hook even though you've told it not to.
Switching to the default theme will help to confirm that, or rule it out...
