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'll be working on this over the weekend. The only limitation will be that the attachments will be uploaded to the anonymous account. This will:

1. cause users to not be able to edit those attachments
2. fill up the attachment allotment reasonably quick for that account if you use it.

We're also going to look into allowing anonymous posting via quick reply.

Hi Cher. Just to update you, progress has not been good. Right now, the system is just too exploitable. We're not giving up though. We just need to figure out a good means of controlling image usage by the anonymous user.
