  • 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.

    You can't edit other Anonymous posts that aren't yours, either! I fixed that.

    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
    * Post Preview
    * "Printable" version
    * 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!

  • About time.

    At lease the Anonymous will be a member of this forum.

    And it is only fair.

  • I added a few more enhancements -- the Preview function works, a few glitches were fixed, and now it's perfect as far as I can tell.

    Keep testing!

  • Dear Matthew,

    This is  a great improvement.

    Also, it is an improvement that all those uncharitable posts got removed.

    If you think Francis is Pope,do you treat him like an Antipope?
