 * You removed the default theme directory, correct?
 * Any theme which does not include certain templates — for example, comments.php—
   will automatically use the ones from the default theme. To rectify this, you 
   can either:
 * 1. Reupload the default theme.
 * 2. Grab comments.php from the default theme and place it in your current theme’s
   directory.

 * Thanks very much Kafk i have removed the default theme. I will go and upload 
   it again and thanks very much for your help. I find WordPress such a handy tool
   and i would like to thank all those involved.
 * I’ll tell you how it all goes :fingercrossed

 * Thanks Kafka that worked a treat. Another thing ive noticed is that with most
   themes ive tried for some reason all my links and catogaries all appear at the
   BOTTOM of my page instead of alongside it. Is this a common problem? I like the
   anarchy 1.1 theme and cant see me changing it but i would be interested to know
   whats wrong if i do ever fancy a channge one day.
 * Thanks again

 * “_Another thing ive noticed is that with most themes ive tried for some reason
   all my links and catogaries all appear at the BOTTOM of my page instead of alongside
   it._“
 * First thing, it’s a good idea to start a new topic when bringing up an unrelated
   issue. That way it’s less likely to get lost in the noise, others who may be 
   following along (or coming across thread for help) are not confused by the change
   of topic, and so on.
 * “_Is this a common problem?_“
 * *Very* common:
 *  [http://wordpress.org/search/sidebar+bottom?forums=1](http://wordpress.org/search/sidebar+bottom?forums=1)
 * In the threads from the search results you’ll find a number of explanations and
   solutions, but the two most typical are:
 * * Images in posts conflicting with the sidebar elements.
 * * Bad positioning or improper use of float in the css.
 * And please, call me Kaf.
