Apparently WordPress.com changed their code so that new articles posted with BlogDesk always had their comments & pings set to Off. The Hotfix solved this problem. After installation, open your blog properties for every blog hosted on wordpress.com and change the value in the System dropdown from WordPress to WordPress.com.
