   that when making the post, but is there a global setting. I dont want pingback
   comments at all.

 * Yeah, I too would like this option. I hate pings, they are worse than spam comments.
   Just having an option to have ping=off by default so I don’t have to remember
   to clear the checkbox each time would be nice.

 * Have you bothered to look into Settings on your dashboard? It’s there…

 * On the Dashboard there is not a Settings tab. I’ve looked through all of the 
   other options available and I don’t find a universal way of turning the pingbacks
   off.
 * Mojorob, why don’t you just tell us where it is?

 * Hi there, try settings, discussion, and uncheck pingbacks and trackbacks, hope
   it works.
    mike.
