Comment form does not display

[muffinnn21]

Hi,

I've searched the forum but come up only with basic solutions.  Yes i rad the documentation and yes i allowed anon, user and admin to post comments. Yes i did allowed comments posting in the gallery i was testing. Actually, all of them allow comments posting.
I am currently using 2beornot2be with paypal and i compared the section //HTML template for the display of comments of my theme.php file with the one from the official theme.php file ( http://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/index.php?topic=9304.0 ).  Both are the same. I would really like to know how to enable the form for comments.  It doesn't display for each group, even for the admin.
The link to my current site is

http://muffinnn.goldeye.info/index.php
Ok i enabled other themes and still i cannot post comments with them, even with the classic one.  It's not a theme problem... any suggestion where i should look for this particular problem ? which file ? I can read my way through most code but i cannot really code myself in php :/
tkx for helping.

I think there's a problem with the EXIF reader, as it's only the pics with EXIF info that have this problem. You can see the whole end of the page is missing, it just stops abruptly during the EXIF info.

[Tarique Sani]

not with EXIF reader but with Display of EXIF - something just halts the script after "Date de la prise de vue:   2005:03:16 21:02:14"  turn off the display of EXIF from the config and let us know what happens

[muffinnn21]

THank you. I did found out yesterday that there was a problem with the exif but i didn't though it would throw an exception that would halt the display of the page without showing some kind of error in the debug text or in the page display.  I'll now try to fix the exif by myself but  i suspect i'll have problems.  I might post another question next week if i fail

Tarique : I love your thème and i also love your signature. Tkx.

[Tarique Sani]

We would be very interested in knowing what the precise problem was and how you solved it

Thanks for the compliment - The theme is 2BorNot2B and the Signature is done using the RSS feed and http://feedburner.com - a website which allows you to do all sorts finky things with your RSS feed
