1) Everyone see the link:

In albums.php, find this code:

  <?php if ($gallery->user->isAdmin() || $gallery->user->isOwnerOfAlbum($gallery
->album)) { ?>
   <span class="admin">
    <?php echo popup_link("[" . _("permissions") ."]", "album_permissions.php?se
t_albumName={$tmpAlbumName}"); ?>
   <?php if (!strcmp($gallery->album->fields["public_comments"],"yes")) { ?>
    <a href=<?php echo makeGalleryUrl("view_comments.php", array("set_albumName"
 => $tmpAlbumName)) ?>>[<?php echo _("view&amp;comments") ?>]</a>
   <?php } ?>

Move the "view comments" link line out of the "admin" if {} block.

Search for "comment" in view_album.php and you'll find similar code. Again, move the line out of the if {} block which checks for admin status, and everyone will see it.

*Then*, you need to remove the "hack check" code from view_comments.php:

// Hack check
if (!$gallery->user->isAdmin() && !$gallery->user->isOwnerOfAlbum($gallery->albu
m)) {
        header("Location: albums.php");
        return;
}

2) This album has "XX" comments:

This requires more customization. If you're willing to code it, let me know, and I'll help point you in the right direction of how to approach this.

Hi. Sounds like you want to have a go at 2).

Basically, you'll need to loop through each item in the given album, and for each image/movie item, you'll add up the number of comments for that item. Assuming you'd want this to go in view_album.php. The code would look something like this:

$numComments = 0;
for ($i=0; $i<$numPhotos; $i++) {
   $numComments += $gallery->album->numComments($i);
}
sprintf("This album has %d comments", $numComments);

Just thought I'd point out, that in 1.4.1 (due out shortly) you can have each album include "Last comment <date>" underneath, which is not a bad way of knowing where to look for new comments.

It would go in wherever you want the text to appear. I'll give you a specific answer if you ask a specific question.
