I just completed work on the new feature.

I disabled Guest posting as of right now.

From now on, only Members in good standing can post Anonymously (Anonymous sub-forum only).

When a member creates a topic (or a reply) in the Anonymous sub-forum, there is a checkbox above the "post" button.

If you leave the box unchecked, the post will be Anonymous by default. If you check the box, you can still post as yourself.

I have checked every possible part of the site I can think of, and it looks like it works.

I posted an Anonymous post, and the following areas work with it:

* Main homepage
* Sub-forum page
* Search
* Post History (in User Profile)
* New Posts
* When post is deleted, and previous post becomes the "latest post", does it still say Guest? Yes.

Are there any others?

Can anyone show me a place where it doesn't work? Namely, you post anonymously and show me a place on the forum where the poster's "true identity" is shown?


Please feel free to try it out!

I can see them when logged in but not when logged out.

Does't seem t be an edit either so make sure you get it right before posting!

I fixed the "reply" last 5 posts issue. They now show up as guest.

Regarding "not seeing them when logged in" and being "unpublished", what are you talking about?

I can see guest posts just fine when logged out, and they are all PUBLISHED now, not unpublished.

Note that they appear in New Posts in regular font, not italics like they used to. That's because they're regular (published) posts now.

Ok -- I fixed that issue with the "delete" button as well.

When I am logged out and click on Do White People Exist for example, it says it is classed as unpublished and I can't see the thread. I can see them logged in though.

ETA On the first page of anonymous forum I can see the threads by MAtthew and Vandaler as well as this thread and the infallibilty thread while logged out. The others say I don't have permission.

Testing...

Mod testing...

Time to change this:

Guests can post here, and members can post here anonymously by logging out and posting as "Guest".

And it would be a nice bonus if the preview worked too.

Done...and done.
