You can use comments_template() all you want (in fact it's required if<br>
you show comments, as there's no other way to do it), but you have to<br>
have a comments.php file to go along with it. Without that, you're<br>
relying on the "backwards compatible" support provided by the core,<br>
which is not guaranteed to be in the next version of WordPress.<br>
<br>
Make a comments.php file in your theme.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Otto is correct, and as I linked here (I think) the other day, overly minimalist themes are deprecated in 3.0. We define those as themes that include a header, footer, sidebar, comments template, or comments popup template, without actually including said templates in their theme. Before 3.0 we'd use Kubrick as a de facto parent theme. Now we still do, but it is unsupported and deprecated.</div>
