I'm not sure he's going to want a beta tester that doesn't read. He has said in post 21 and 26 that he's upgrading it when he has time.

Is it really necessary to be so rude!! It was said tongue in cheek to him as I helped test a change that he made on the last one. Ever heard the saying if you havent got something nice to say!!!

That must be one mega update for th ibProArcade!

eagerly awaiting this one :)

me too!!

me too...
also just wondering if you could make one without any db changes.....

####EDIT - PROBLEM SOLVED####
Well so much for thorough checking. I?ll leave my original msg untouched so you can see what missing some code in file edits can cause.
In my case it was a matter of overlooking some at functions_newpost.php. Kool hack - so installed.
####END OF EDIT ####

I am trying to install this hack and everything seems to go sooth except for one fairly major problem...

If I try to

• open a new thread,
• reply without quoting
• reply with quoting or
• quickreply or
• report a posting (by clicking on the triangle opening report.php) OR
• send a new pm or
• reply to a previously received pm

I get only a totally blank page shown.

Another thing (not been able to test this with a anonym post yet, but only with a post by an already known poster): If I check the author as an admin all other details show up as set in "anonymous_showauthor" template except the name of the poster. I mean the linkNor does the script send the email to the investigated member. (Not such a big thing.)

I have tried to chec my newly coded files and templates, phrases and the database mods. All seem in place. I have numerous hacks installed, but all changes are made to code that was found at places you suggest to look into based on finding the exact codes as you suggest to be repalced or added above/below (i think meaning no hacked code was changed). My vB is still v 3.0.3 and the php runs by cgi.

I would surely appreciate any ideas regarding correcting the above as this would be a kool hack to use.

Regs,

an upgrade to 3.6???

So this hack will make a user anonymous in that certain forum? correct.
What about when someone replies to that post and they are subscribed to the thread, will it then show them who the anonymous poster is in the email notice?

No, the Name and ID ect. is commpletely replaced in the DB and stored in a seperate place no standard-vB-script knows... so no way the real data gets sent/displayed anywhere :)
