Displaying the comment form in MovableType 4
One of the minor annoyances with MovableType4's default settings is that the comment form does not display on single entry archives ie. if you are viewing an article / post you don't see that "welcoming" form.
Thanks to some help on the SixApart mailing lists the solution is quite easy !
Edit mt.js from within your MT install and comment out the line that includes the following:
hideDocumentElement('comments-form' );
It should be somewhere around line 129.
As it's Javascript the syntax would be to use double forward slashes on each line (//).
Once you've made the change simply republish or wait for your republish to run ( you did setup a cronjob, didn't you?) and you should now see the comment form !

Sadly, this is more complicated under the MT 4.1 templates.
You need to remove a whole chunk of the code.
