Globally turn off comments?

System

Hi folks, is there a way to turn off comments on the entire SM website in one stoke? I know I can do it gallery by gallery, but is there a short cut way to do this for all galleries at once? Thanks, Shane

It's a gallery customization thing, Gallery Tools>Customize Gallery. So, save it as part of your template, and then you'll have it set to OFF for all new galleries created. You'll have to go and change your existing galleries.

Also, in your control panel, you can turn comment approval on or off:

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the inf and quick reply Andy...I got two odd comments and at this point, not sure I want to give people the option to comment on my site in a public way...better for them to email me. Thanks again, Shane
