On the latest stopdesign theme, i have noticed a bug on posting a comment. actually you could not post a comment on each photo even though commenting is Enabled.
I looked at your site. There is html code to display the "show" button, but it is not appearing on your page. Check to be sure that you have uploaded all the files from the theme.
Possibly your CSS has been changed or the button image is missing.
really? hmmm... dunno whats wrong but i did try reuploading everything even the nightly build. i saw it in some members as well that their comments button shows up. i think there something's wrong on the latest template-functions file.
Well, in setting this up for you to see, I have been able to reproduce your problem. I was setting up on my secondary test site where there are no comments posted. What I found is the catch-22. If you have comments on an image, then you get the button to add comments. If you don't have comments, then you don't get the button.
I'm not the CSS expert, so I will pass this on to one. Hopefully he can figure out what is going on.
I do think it is a problem unique to stopdesign. Maybe you can use a different theme until this is worked out.
Thanks to davidmnodeo for the fix. The "add a comment" button now shows up.
However, on a photo page with no comments, when the photo is loading, the entire comment block shows up for about half a second and then disappears, suddenly replaced by the "add a comment" button. This is kind of unattractive to see with every photo load.
Does anyone know how to get rid of the transient appearance of the comment boxes?
Both problems -- the hidden Add Comment button (Thanks to davidmnodeo for the patch) and the "flashing" comment box -- are fixed in SVN and will be in tonight's nightly build.

One other possibility is that the allowed_tags array is not set properly. Please see http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=2048&replies=8

just check on each photo.

i have noticed that i can see the comment button on IE6, but it does not show up on IE7 and Firefox.

BTW, when I viewed your site in IE7 I did not see your comments button.

There is an error in themes/stopdesign/css/comment-hide.css
It reads :
`#hidecomments, #comments, #addcomment {
display:none;
}`
But #comments should be displayed :
`#comments {display: block;}
#hidecomments, #addcomment {
display:none;
}`
Hope it helps

Any ideas would be appreciated.
