Hi all,
TIA for helping a girl out 
I'm on SP5, build 7652. Only recently updated from 4.5.1 build 6401 where I had the same problem: when using bloglinking everything works except for the forumposts - they don't show as blogcomments. The other way around works fine.
The Wiki mentions editing the theme, but not how. And I'm not sure it works the same for SP5.
I'm using the "I Love It!" theme, version, 0.3 byCosmo Themes.
Theme-URL: http://cosmothemes.com/blog/20.....i-love-it/
My comments.php file: http://pastebin.com/250pGsmk
My functions.php file: http://pastebin.com/AABtSGs9
My settings: 
I have no idea how to fix this and I'm only guessing I need to edit my template. I've tried switching to the default WP-theme but still no forumposts in the comments.
Thank you!!

is this an old wp theme? using the very old comments style? by default wp theme, do you mean twenty ten? that would be the one to test (or twenty eleven)... would answer my first question...

There are quite a few details on what is needed in the popup help on the blog linking panel. I would start there.

No, it's a pretty recent theme. I acitvated Twenty Eleven (1.3) to see if that would fix it, but alas.

Yes, the help-popups are great! They're the first thing I check when not completely sure about something. It states
If your theme comment templates uses the newer WP 2.7+ wp_list_comments() function, you may need to edit the argument list.
Using Display Mixed in Standard Comment Block
If your comments template does not pass any arguments to the wp_list_comments() function or has a 'type=all' or 'type=comment' argument, the SPF linked topic posts will show up as comments interspersed with the WP comments, sorted by date.
Topic Posts will be sent to the WP function with a type of 'comment'.
That's pretty much what the Wiki said as well, but I'm still not sure how to edit my themefiles. Sorry - I know very little php. Even "If your comments template does not pass any arguments to the wp_list_comments()" is beyond me - sorry!
Line 95 of my comments.php:
<ol class="cosmo-comment-list cosmo-comment-plain"><?php/* Loop through and list the comments. Tell wp_list_comments()* to use de_comment() to format the comments.* If you want to overload this in a child theme then you can* define de_comment() and that will be used instead.* See de_comment() in news24/functions.php for more.*/wp_list_comments( array( 'callback' => 'de_comment' ) );?></ol>
I've asked some people who at least know PHP, but they referred me back here because they don't know WP/SP.
I'm pretty sure it's a pretty basic edit, but when you don't 'speak' PHP that doesn't help much

well... a bit sticky here... your theme is overriding wp and controlling how wp comments are displayed...
and afraid we have no idea what your theme is trying to do to display differently...
but, you can try this:
wp_list_comments( array( 'type' => 'all', 'callback' => 'de_comment' ) );
but afraid that may not work (should be the default)...
if you are not stuck on how your wp theme displays comments, you could just return comment control to wp... change the call to
wp_list_comments();
but again, since we dont know what your theme is doing differently to display comments, just not sure how it will change...

That did the trick! Should have figured that one out for myself 
but the Cosmo-code was a bit confusing for me ...
I'll have to do some styling, but it doens't look bad now - just not pretty. Which I can live with, but I'll fix the styling.
Thanky you!!!
