Have you ever wanted to discuss something on a forum but never posted because you didn't want people to know it was you? To solve this problem, we created an anonymous posting hack.

Via the admin control panel, you can easily choose which forum(s) allows for anonymous posting.




For anonymous enabled forums, your members then get this handly little checkbox (unchecked by default) when making a new thread or post.




If they check the box, then their post is created under the account you setup and assign as the anonymous poster. I personally created an "anonymous" username, but you can create whatever you want.




As forum owners, we all know that a few members will choose to screw around with this feature. Therefore we created an easy means to identify who created an anonymous thread/post should the need arise. Please be ethical and tell your members you can see who posted anonymously should the need arise. You can check the log by going here:




And the log looks something like this:



Official support for this modification will take place at http://network.zoints.com in this forum.


Enjoy, click install, check out Zoints' other hacks, have a great day, and all that happy jive.

We always used this avatar for our anonymous account. You're welcome to use it if so desire:

this sounds awesome! Question?
Say I create an anonymous forum, set it up with this etc.
Sometimes folks will subscribe to a thread, what happens when someone subscribes and receives a post from this anonymous forum, does it show the real posters name?

TIA!!

It will in no way divulge who the real poster was. This system literally uses a different account to post, so there is nothing to uncover.

To answer your second question, yes, it will work fine with 3.6.2

Enjoy!

ok, I installed it, for some reason, it's not working.
It's all there, but when I post and click on the box, the thread comes up as me not anonymous...any ideas?

If I click on new messages, it shows that Anonymous posted in the anonymous forum but when you click on the thread, it shows who we are lol!

Hi Cher,

Please accept my apologies for the delayed reply. I need to fix my notification settings.

Are you running any template caching or whitespace stripping programs?
