Describe the Scenario

Hello,

The comment section is not showing on any page on my instance, i just have a blank space under the page. As i saw the new release, i also can't reference a part of text in the comment (the comment button when selecting a word is not showing).
I didn't find any env variable that controls this. Since I'm the admin user, i have all the permissions, including creating comments, i may have missed something in the configuration to enable it but i can't find what it is.
I'm using linuxserver image.

Thank you for your help.

Hi @netsho,

There's a "Disable Comments" option in the "Features & Security" section of the in-app settings.
Can you check the status of that to ensure it's unchecked?

I have been in the settings multiple times and couldn't see this option, thank you for taking your time to solve it.
