A good friend notified me that since the switch to the new format the comments weren’t turned on. So now they are.
Here’s the deal with commenting here. You have to register an account. That may sound like a pain in the ass at first but it is really great. You only do it once and you don’t have to input anything ever again unless you’re not logged in. This in my opinion is better than requiring commenters to type in those graphical spam verification codes and getting them wrong two or three times…
