rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrG (The Power Of Archives)

As soon as I'd posted about the missing comments something stirred in my brain. It was too much of a coincidence that the template screw-up and the missing comments happened at the same time. What other customisations had dissappeared and could that explain the missing comments. Looking at old entries shows that I'd installed Haloscan to give me Trackback. Then looking closely at the Haloscan site it seemed that for some reason they take over your comments as well as trackback, so I reinstalled Haloscan and the comments are back.
