I've got this form that won't display at all. The page renders
properly, right up to the submit button, but the form isn't there and
neither is the error message "No comments to display". I've looked
over the view and everything looks fine, but it just doesn't work.
Could someone take a look at it? How are you supposed to debug
something that doesn't give you any error messages?
