s. TEST. Log in as a user that should be able to post anonymously. Start a new thread. Does the checkbox show that asks you if you want to post anonymously? If not, make sure you did step o

Double check your step N. That can also cause what you are seeing.

I made sure I did that change and it still does not appear for me.

Also note, I didn't go past 7. This section allows users to post a new anonymous reply. because I didn't want members to be able to post replies anonymously so I figured I didn't need to do that part. But still it said at that check point that I should be able to post anonymously so hmmm...

I don't know why it won't work

Just for giggles, do step seven, part f.

did it, and it didn't help..

Are you sure all the permissions are set correctly? That has been most people's problem.

my forum is set up to allow the anonymous post, and so is my usergroup...

let me know if you want to see it hands on and i send you the info via pm.

Yes. Send me the info via PM.

Help, anyone?

Looks like you didn't run the queries. Run those, or those that you missed, and you should be fine.
