Dude. Me too.

It's darned annoying. :(

Sorry gang. I just haven't had the coding time lately. I'm sharing my home computer with the entire family now and every time I stand up to get a drink of water or to check dinner on the stove, a family member dives for the puter. It doesn't make for good coding concentration.

What would be the implications of *not* applying the editpost.php modifications, as a temporary fix?

I guess the anonymous poster will be revealed.

No. It wouldn't. It would mean the user couldn't edit their posts but a mod could. It would also mean that a post couldn't be changed to or from anonymous after it's made.

Amy you're the one. Please give it the 5 minutes and take a look at that annoying problem for us.

The anonymous user couldn't edit their posts...but normal posts could still be edited?

While it *does* take away a little of the functionality, the alternative (having the first post of a thread take the username of anyone who has edited their posts in it) is worse.

I don't even know if it happens every time...but it does happen.

Is the problem of edition always of current events ?

i use vb 3.0.7 and when i installed the hack it, when i went to post it didn't come up with that option and yes, i did the template change.. any ideas?

If you installed as instructed, you should be able to tell me what step you are on. There is testing involved at each level of installation to help narrow down any installation issues.
