cheers chris.

Give us your Gallery/webserver information to get a faster answer.
Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard).
Gallery URL (optional but very useful):
Gallery version:
Apache version:
PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please):
Graphics Toolkit:
Operating system:
Web browser/version (if applicable):

I would suggest looking at some of the below options from config.php.

$gallery->app->adminCommentsEmail = "no";
$gallery->app->comments_enabled = "yes";
$gallery->app->comments_indication = "both";
$gallery->app->comments_indication_verbose = "no";
$gallery->app->comments_anonymous = "no";
$gallery->app->comments_display_name = "!!USERNAME!!";
$gallery->app->comments_addType = "popup";
$gallery->app->comments_length = "300";
$gallery->app->comments_overview_for_all = "yes";

in /gallery dir... you could also re-run setup and pay attention for any "comment" options.

I suggest posting in the right forums in the future, makes a big diff in things :)

Haven't messed with G2 commenting, so maybe a dev knows.

If I understand your question correctly, you want to modify your album view so that the comments are visible inline? At the moment, we don't do that anywhere else, so you'll probably have to make some changes to the layout. You'll have to modify layouts/matrix/layout.inc to load in the comments when viewing albums, then tweak layouts/matrix/templates/albumBody.tpl to display the comments under each thumbnail. Probably not too difficult, except that if you haven't looked under the covers at G2 code before you'll have to spend a little time coming up to speed.

another possible interpretation of the question gives this answer:
go to the top of your G2, do edit permissions and grants "View comments" to the group "Everybody".. make sure to check the "apply to children" checkbox.
