Can you turn on comments?

[KMB2476]

Hi everyone,
I posted my newest story and I really wanted some feedback to it but I realize, to my chagrin, I must have accidently turned off comments when I submitted it for posting.
is there a way I can turn comments on?
thanks

1. Go to your control panel and pull up the list of published stories (Works link on the left).
2. Find the story in question.
3. Click on the gear icon in the top-right corner of its card.
4. In the window that appears, flip Comments from Off to On and click OK.

Note that this assumes you haven’t globally disabled the comments for all your stories, which is done in Settings (and I believe that global setting takes precedence, though I’m not sure).

thanks!
However, that shows me the comments are "on" in my settings and yet off in the actual story. i have attached a screen shot to show it.
For some reason even though comments should be on they are off. Very confusing

Do both your settings look like this?


(story-specific)


(global in Options)

If so, then comments should be enabled. There might be some caching issues if you changed those settings recently, as the site is notorious for that, but if you had both settings like this before making the thread, then that might possibly be a bug...

thanks! turns out it was set to off in the global options but that is very strange since I never set it that way and some stories were allowing comments and others weren't
very strange. Hopefully this fixes it

I've not discovered a way to turn on comments, but if you turn on readers they might comment.

If only I knew, I might win one of these contests these days or at least get more of the coveted "hot" rankings next to my story.
