Which plug-in are you using, and did you just start? I don't ever remember seeing this functionality before. I see you’ve enable threaded commenting, too.

However, there appears to be some display issues for posts that don\'t have any comments. Maybe I accidentally deleted a \"div\" tag or something. Although the display problem is also slightly different in IE compared with Firefox and Opera. (Maybe the problem was there before, but I didn\'t notice it). I\'ll play around with it again tonight and see if I can fix it. I got rid of the extra box above the comments.

I would also suggest that you set it "on" by default... Well, notice that you have two boxes instead of one (one on the top and one on the bottom).

(BTW - you should consider getting a "subscribe to following comments by email" or co.comments word-press plugin for your comment conversations.)

It generates sites with dozens or even hundreds of validation errors, and instead of using CSS for layout design, it does it all through tables and brute force. Page loads are slow, too. Drupal's getting pretty good, though. That's what I used to make the <a href="http://taiwanfeed.com" rel="nofollow">Taiwan Blog Feed</a> with almost no customization at all. I seem to remember David Lancashire telling me that he runs <a href="http://adsotrans" rel="nofollow">Adsotrans</a> on Drupal, too. I’d recommend against using PHP Nuke.
