They can however read the existing comments.

I've heard for some reason the system doesn't work. It alway used to work. Has something happened with Worpress that has stopped this facility?

(If I remember well, changing that setting will only affect new posts, not posts already published under a don't-allow-comments status.)

If you haven't done this, and as your first post suggests this was a recent change, I would recommend contacting Support directly with the problem. http://support.wordpress.com/contact/

Now I guess I just have to pull up posts individually to fix the problem. Thanks.

justjennifer, there is nothing checked on the "automatically close comments on articles older than x days"

Which might explain the lack of comments lately. I checked the settings/discussion and the box is checked to allow comments, so what is the problem?
