New template hiddes my comments form, why?

    I'm having problems since I've changed the template of my blog, because I didn't see the comments form as was hidden. What really happened was that when I'm at the frontal page or any page that isn't showing just only one post, the comments form remains hidden like this:

    but if I click to see just one post, I can see the comments form without problems:

    [​IMG]

    So, the question is: What can I do to show the comments form from the main page, so readers can comment straight to the post, without making them enter at the specific post?

    What you have described is pretty normal. The Comment section is normally displayed after the entire post, not an excerpt.
    To show the comments section, show the full post.

    Then it may have been a function of the particular theme that you were using. It's not a Wordpress issue.
    Normally the comment section displays after the full post unless designed to do otherwise or directed differently with some kind of plug in.

    The problem is most likely coded into a PHP file of the theme - functions.php would be a good place to look first.
