Is it possible to disable comments on my blog node type? I am wanting to do my comments a custom way and wondering if there was any type of way to disable the comments.

Thanks!

administer -> content -> configure ->content types will let you set the global default

Do any other users find that disabling comments for a node-type is very random?

i.e., I can create a content type, called "Widget", and set comments to Disabled. Now I create a new node of type="widget" and voilia, "Add new comment" is at the bottom of the newly created node.

It seems to happen quite often..

It's not random at all. It's just that comments are set to be on by default. So if/when a new node type is added to the system, comments are on until you turn them off.

Contact me to contract me for D7 -> D10/11 migrations.

So if I create a new content type and set comments to "Disabled" and then create a node in that content type, it would be set to "Read/Write"? Why even have a setting for the global content type if it does nothing?

No, because when you turn them off by default. They are set to be off... by default.

You're not understanding my point or sarcasm. Not trying to be difficult, but I have indeed experienced this and perhaps it's been a bug in versions < 6.15.

EDIT: Specifically, I'm seeing this happen with a client's Webform node right now.. will have to investigate.
