 * Can you provide more information? I’m the developer of this plug-in and haven’t
   heard any reports of problems yet. I just double-checked that this works on a
   fresh 3.1 install and had no problems (even with the new advanced ‘screen options’
   form!) (lucky me!).
 * You may have misunderstood what the plugin does?
 * This doesn’t hide existing comments. It simply disables the page comments check-
   boxes as a default option. This plugin is for people using wordpress as a CMS
   who use lots of pages, rather than posts. For these users, unchecking the “show
   page comments” and “allow track backs /pingbacks” form on every new page is a
   chore. This plugin is designed to help with that tiny nuisance.
 * If you are having problems with the plugins functionality, please provide more
   information. (WordPress version, steps you followed, what you expected, and what
   happened) Thank you.

 * Follow up: This plugin doesn’t un-set the value that may have been saved with
   existing pages. It does not have a retro-active effect. It’s great for moving
   forward, but you should uncheck the boxes and update any existing pages.

 * No offence to the developer but this plugin is pretty pointless. WordPress automatically
   hides the option to disable comments which can be re-enabled by choosing the 
   correct options in “Screen Options”.

 * This isn’t to hide the checkboxes. It’s to uncheck them by default. I still don’t
   think you understand what this plugin does:
 * Every time I created a new page, I had to uncheck those boxes. Most of my clients
   would forget to do this and it was annoying. I wanted to set the default to be
   unchecked on “pages” and leave them checked for “posts”. I was not the first 
   person to desire this, and there were many posts from people asking for this 
   functionality. So I made it, for free. If that’s something you are looking for,
   then great. If not, then it’s not for you. That’s ok too.
 * I’m marking this resolved.
 * Would you mind changing your “broken” vote back to “Works”?
    Thanks,
