Hi Mark,

I am sorry for the inconvenience caused. Actually this issue is already fixed internally and this will be included in the latest version.
As for your patch, please locate this file: administrator\components\com_easyblog\includes\comment\comment.php line: 111.

Change this code:

// If comments is enabled, we always treat it as built in.

if ($this->config->get('main_comment')) {

	return true;

}

To this code.

// If comments is enabled, we always treat it as built in.

if ($this->config->get('comment_easyblog', 1)) {

	return true;

}

Once again, I am sorry for the inconvenience caused and have a nice day.
