Community 7.0: unable to Comment on a Forum Post or Thread

All,

Is it possible to Comment on a Forum Post or Thread? I saw that on our implementation this is not available and after checking the Widget code I saw that both vars return a [false]:

#set ($commentsSupported = false)

#set ($commentsSupported = $core_v2_comments.SupportsComments($story.ContentTypeId))

#set ($accessingUserCanComment = false)

#if ($commentsSupported)

   #set ($accessingUserCanComment = $core_v2_comments.CanCreateComment($story.ContentId, $story.ContentTypeId))

#end

and using it:

#if ($commentsSupported && $accessingUserCanComment)

<li class="navigation-item">

<a class="internal-link comment" href="#">

<span></span>$core_v2_language.GetResource('comment')

</a>

</li>

#end

Regards,

Steve
