I am having exactly the same problem as ehayot above! Click the comment button — Nothing happens. I’ve had this problem for a few weeks now. It makes my site pretty much worthless for my purposes.

I “solved” this by deactivating Jetpack, whcih means I lose access to cool stuff… but doing so should at least make your site viable, Ikiwago.
Thanks for the post. I deactivated Jetpack and now comments are working again. A number of people are claiming that it is working with WP 3.4.2 so I’m wondering what the problem is that it isn’t working for us.

No idea. And what I don’t understand is that for SOME users (including me, for about 5 days) comments DID work. But for the majority they didn’t.
Could you both try steps 1 and 2 at http://jetpack.me/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-tips/
That may tell us if there is a plugin/theme conflict causing this.
Are you both still having issues in Jetpack 1.8.3?
I am having the same problem with Comments not working for my users. While I am able to post comments, my readers find the Comment button is dead.
I can deactivate Jetpack and comments will work under the standard WordPress system. However, I then lose the new post notification. Before the most recent Jetpack upgrade, the automatic notification was also not working.
I’ve been told the problem I am having is likely due to conflicts with other plugins. I doubt that, but it might be possible.
I’ve checked all my settings and I am not able to find any settings that might be blocking users from making comments.
