I am trying to set this thene up on a friends site and she loves it and all works perfectly except:
The subscribe to comments plugin is installed on this site and the check box for that plugin does not display.
http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/subscribe-to-comments/ plugin
http://cook4seasons.com/recipes/delicious-greetings/ site in question.
You can see under the comment box that the check box that is supposed to be displayed right before the text "Notify me of followup comments via e-mail" is not there. If you look up on the left side of the tan background border, you can see that the check box is up there. Weird. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks!
on edit an hour later: Still no success trouble shooting this. I thought it might be the placement of this ocde, but it is correct and moving it around does not fix it.:
<?php show_subscription_checkbox(); ?>
Maybe it is a css issue?

The checkbox has a style id #subscribe, which clashes with the absolutely positioned subscribe to comments button, which also uses #subscribe…thus your checkbox is being positioned absolutely…just change the style associated with the text box or remove the position: absolute; from the #subscribe style in styles.css if you're not using that rss subscribe button.
As a side note, if you're not using firebug plugin for firefox, you should get it. I figured out this problem in 2 minutes because of firebug.

Thanks! I'll try that and see how it goes. It makes sense.
As for the firebug plugin, I had not heard of that until this week. You are the second person to suggest it. I better get it!

OK – I removed the absolute from the #subscribe and that fixed it. I am not sure I like that solution for the long term, though.
When you said "just change the style associated with the text box" which text box are to referring to? I don't see any style association like that in the plugin's files. I must be dense here on this one, because even though I think your first suggestion is the best one, I don't follow it completely.
By the way – I did give your theme the well deserved 5 stars over at WordPress.org. Not only do I love the way it is coded, but it has its own forum! That alone should sell a bunch of people on using it.

I meant the checkbox for your subscribe to comments plugin…that probably has some style associated with it, possibly in the plugin's own stylesheet…if so, you can edit that, otherwise, just assign a different id to the rss link besides #subscribe

John Crenshaw and WT, THANKS for having this discussion! I was having a very similar problem involving Subscribe to Comments + the On Demand theme by Jason Schuller. It's a great theme, but I didn't know there was a #subscribe style conflict until I looked deeper.
Solved my problem, and now I know to help others too, should I hear of similar troubles.

John Crenshaw, I am in the same situation like Torley, Subscribe to Comments + the On Demand theme. But I could not find how to fix the problem. Where do I find the plugin's own stylesheet?
Thanks for your help
