I have Comments "Allowed on Profile" for all my main quotas but don't see a tab for them on the Profile pages. Should there be one?

I've imported Member comments but now can't seem to find them. It doesn't help that I really don't know where to look ;)

Thanks!

It depends on the skin - I believe the jrNingJa skin by default shows Profile Comments, but most skins do not - they just show comments on the ITEMS that are part of the profile.

What skin are you using?

Ahhhh ... that explains it :)

I'm using Lucid so I guess I'll have to update it?

ETA: Or if Guest Book does basically the same thing perhaps I'll just stick with that and start out fresh. Wonders about the possibility of converting Comments to Guest Book.

Yep - you should be able to add something like this:
                    <div class="block_content">
                        <div class="item">
                            {* bring in module features *}
                            {jrCore_db_get_item module="jrProfile" item_id=$_profile_id assign="item"}
                            {jrCore_item_detail_features module="jrProfile" item=$item}
                        </div>
                    </div>
To your skins/SkinName/profile_index.tpl file - somewhere near the bottom or where you'd like the comments to show up.

If you wanted to show a list of the latest comments that were posted anywhere on the site, you could use Site Builder and the 'Item List' widget to get a list of the latest comments and put that somewhere on the top level of your site.

I think I have a related question.... I would like our members to be able to comment on other member's profiles. I was able to do that using another skin on another network I set up, but I can't seem to do that using the latest network we set up using Sage skin. Any thoughts on how to set that up?

This is particular useful for our "Welcome team" who take turns welcoming new members.

Better to ask a new question Deb, this one is already marked 'solved'.

Take a look at the bottom of the Ningja skins 'profile_index.tpl' file for the {* Profile Comments section *} and copy that into your skins profile_index.tpl. That should do it.
