+That's the only place where I want comments. <http://natalian.org/archives/>
+Has the pagespec changed? Is it `archives/*/*` or something like that?

+I have tried rebuilding on my squeeze system and still comments don't appear. Any clues how to debug this?

+
+I was worried is was due to a time skew problem I was experiencing on my VPS in the last month, though the time is right now and still comments do not appear on blog posts like <http://natalian.org/archives/2010/03/25/BBC_News_complaints/>

+
+I think the problem was before that it was `<TMPL_IF COMMENTS>` and now it is `<TMPL_IF NAME="COMMENTS">` ?

+
+# Solved
+
+A merge with the templates in master with my [html5](http://git.webconverger.org/?p=ikiwiki;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/html5) branch looks like it has solved the problem. Also see [[bugs/html5_support]].
