I have just installed Drupal 6.10 using fantastico with Hostgator hosting. I have enabled anonymnous users permission to access to comments and post comments. I created a few test comments to see how they would look and to my surprise they are not showing up in the approval queue or anywhere else. I checked the database and they are being stored in the database but for some reason are not showing up. If I log in and post a comment everything works fine.

Any ideas?

I also tried setting permissions to allow anonymous comments without approval and they are still not showing.

This seems to be caused by the fact that there is no user in the users table with uid = 0. I had the exact same issue, and solved it by manually entering a user with uid = 0 into the users table in the database.

Hi,

Same issue here: permissions configured correctly,
I can see the comment in the block, when clicking on the link, it brings me to the node, but here I can only see the admin-comments.
In the published comment admin page, I can't see other comments than from admin.

Same issue & same solution.

I erased the user with User id 0 because this gives a warning when checking the tables.
