In the following lines we will give a brief description of the options under this section:

  • Drupal Comments - With the default installation, only users that have logged in can access/post comments. This can be changed from Administer -> User management -> Permissions. The comments settings are self-explanatory. By default, registered users can post comments (they don't need to wait for moderator approvals). If you want to let anonymous users post comments, go to Administer -> User management -> Permissions -> comment module.
