How to turn off comments in .Text

The admin page appears broken in my build of .Text.   I figured out how turn off comments by changing the database directly.  Here are the steps in  case you need to do the same.

1. Open the blog_config table in your .Text database.
2. Find the Flags column.  Subtract 16 from the current value.

Thanks Walt! I was having the same problem with attempting to turn off the comments.

i am getting spammed so bad, i'd appreciate any help. I have no category in the db for value, this is what i have:

Column: Flag
Type: int
Length: 4
Prec. 10
Scale: 0
Nullable: True
Default:
Rule:
ID: False
ID start:
ID Seed:
Row Guid: False

Any ideas how to fix? I try to turn off my comments on the .text control panel but it keeps the box checked after updating.

Open SQL query analyzer and your .TEXT database.

Type Select Title, Flag from blog_Config and press F5 to run the query.

You'll get back a list of all the blogs on the .Text server. In the second column you'll see a numeric value (on mine is was 79). Subtract 16 from the value (79-16=63)
.

Change the value in the db to this new number.
