Welcome to the forums...
I don't know what skin your using however check out the index.main.php file for your skin and look for....

// Link to comments, trackbacks, etc.:
					$Item->feedback_link( array(
									'type' => 'comments',
									'link_before' => '',
									'link_after' => '',
									'link_text_zero' => '#',
									'link_text_one' => '#',
									'link_text_more' => '#',
									'link_title' => '#',
									'use_popup' => false,
								) );

Replace the '#' where you wish... eg: 'link_text_zero' => 'Feedback'

etc etc

By the way you can change it from "X trackback(s)" to "X comment(s)" by changing the type of feedback - if that is what you are looking to do. In other words

'type' => 'comments'

will give you "X comment(s)", and changing it to

'type' => 'feedbacks'

will give you "X feedback(s)".

Actually I'm not sure off the top of my head if it is "feedbacks" or "feedback" but one of those uses that for the default text. The difference between comments and feedbacks is that feedbacks includes trackbacks if enabled and pingbacks if your blog is really old and you have some pingbacks from way back then.

Just to add to your information overload, if you use the % sign ( or summat ) in 'link_text_more' then it should be changed to the current count in a groooooooovy evo manner ;)

Thanks much for your replies.
However, I tried that already, I am using the skin breastawareness.

I tried to change it with the file name index.main.php under breastawareness skin directory and I tried the skins directory(original) with _item_feedback.inc.php.

Actually I want to change the word of comment to "feedback" or "words from people" something like that. Just I want to change the word when it is displayed, not inside of codes.

When I test comments function as visitor and member,
it display " Feedback awaiting moderation" and display "1 comment" and "2 comments" and so on when the comment approved for publication.

I want to change the display as "1 valuable comment" and"2 valuable comments" and so on..

Anyone can help me to change display described above ?

That is what John's answer will let you do!

// Link to comments, trackbacks, etc.:
                    $Item->feedback_link( array(
                                    'type' => 'comments',
                                    'link_before' => '',
                                    'link_after' => '',
                                    'link_text_zero' => 'no one said anything yet',
                                    'link_text_one' => '1 valuable comment',
                                    'link_text_more' => '%s valuable comments',
                                    'link_title' => '#',
                                    'use_popup' => false,
                                ) ); 

By the way you will want to change it in all the files with .main.php names. index.main.php, single.main.php, posts.main.php, page.main.php and any others that might exist in that skin. You have to change it in the files in order for it to change what gets displayed, else how will your server know what you want? It uses '#' to mean "just use the default text".

By the way if I clicked the box here for "disable smilies" the "equals greater than" wouldn't turn into an arrow but I'm too lazy to click that box because I like to use smilies :)

Thank you so much~~~
I will try,,I hope it work and help other people want to change like me.
Thanks

Thanks for your help..
It works,, except the the display when I clicked it and display all the comments below.

When I clicked the Feedbacks below post at the first main page, it goes to the single page with some comments and display the number of published comments, however it display comment not valulabel comment when I followed the changes explained above.

How can I change both of them..

I Tried this below

// ------------------ FEEDBACK (COMMENTS/TRACKBACKS) INCLUDED HERE ------------------
skin_include( '_item_feedback.inc.php', array(
'before_section_title' => '%d <h4>',
'after_section_title' => 'valuable comments</h4>',

However, It double display like below

3 comments valuable comments

How can I change only one time display ?

Hi All...I'm using the latest version of b2evo...3.3.1 I believe.

OK...working on a new site and I believe that the techniques you're discussing in this thread will solve my problem. But I'm getting errors...this is what I want to do.

Please view site http://www.thehorizontalway.com/ I am using this idea for my new site.

If you click comments on one of the posts...you'll see that the comment box appears in the next div over not below the post as b2evo defaults to...see my version at http://www.cicadagallery.net

How do I move the comment box over to the next div so I end up with

div (original post) div (comment box) balance of horizontal divs for the page?

Please answer this is driving me crazy. Let me know too if I should have started a new thread.

just to mention, shouldnt that be 'breast cancer awareness' ? 'breast awareness' is also way fine with me :D

@swaitela: please don't double post. It doesn't get answers quicker unless you count someone saying "don't do that" as an answer. Your second post as a new topic is fine. Or this one is fine. But both is not fine because now it just gets sloppier in here. Sloppy is bad :(
