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.

So we can better serve others in the future, may I ask what the exact issue turned out to be?

dc, I actually think it had something to do with some of the hacks I had installed so I really don't know the exact thing that was causing it.

Another question for you, I run a photography forum, the anonymous thing (THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH) is being used with constructive critiscm of images, the anonymous poster can't post images.
They don't show up at all.
Any ideas?

Do Admins, Supermoderators and Moderators will know that is you posted message anonymously?

Or anonymousity is just for a regular members to know who you really are?

Does the usergroup your anonymous account is in have permission to post attachements?

Only admin have access to the means to tell who posted anonymously because it is in the admin control panel (the anonymous log).

This seems AWESOME - I run a poetry forum and it would be nice to be able to have really "anonymous" critiquing in just one forum so that people won't feel "obligated" to give a good review.

Question: Will this run on 3.5.4 or can it be easily ported to work with 3.5.4
I sure hope the answer is yes - I'm excited about this one!

At anyrate - Thanx for sharing it!

Jacquii.

It seems that isn't working unfortauntely. We'll look into adding it for the next build. Sorry for the trouble.
