I'm just wondering what the difference between the two Comments tabs in CB Activity Parameters is, please? One is a sub-tab under the main Activity tab, so enables Comments on the Activity stream, I can see, but what is the other one for, alongside General, Activity and Cleanup tabs?
The parameters in the Activity tab override the global parameters, which are configured in the CB Activity plugin. It's just a way for a specific activity stream to have its own parameters independent from the global parameters. So for example if you want to adjust comments for all activity streams that are using the global parameters you can do so from CB Activity plugin parameters.

However, it wasn't exactly what I was asking. Both the Comments tabs are under the parameters tab in the Activity plugin.Maybe the attachment I've added will illustrate it better, as it shows both Comments tabs visible at he same time, one along the top row alongside General, Activity and Cleanup and one under the Activity tab itself. I've tried by trial and error to work out the functions of each tab; obviously they enable/disable and control comments but I can't see why there are two of them.
One set of parameters is specifically for comments in activity. The other is for comments globally. Commenting and Activity streams can be and are independent. For example you can have a Comments field. With CB Activity 4.0.0 this will be expanded further to allow comment streams in more locations (e.g. hopefully on Joomla articles for example).
