The only things that don't seem to be working are profile related.

If so, could you point me to which step in your instructions these functions are located?

Thanks

It changes the whole userid. When installed properly, normal users and logged out people see the profile of the Anonymous user that you created. Admins and mods see the profile of the true user.

I do have a small problem. Although permissions are set, new users are not allowed

I am able to fix when I go to user in admincp. I see that permissions are there. But he is not allowed. I save, then it's ok. Problem is I can't do that every time :-)

Perhaps the profilefield is not updating? As admin I can see private field. I noticed all new users had nothing for anonymous permissions until I manually update user in control panel. Just click save without doing anything else, then I can see it in profile.

It would have been nice to be able to use another set of new status icons for forums and subforums like forum_new.gif, forum_old.gif to indicate that forum accepts anonymous posting (anon_new.gif, anon_old.gif)

Hello, I think this looks awesome! I just have one quick question before we start to install. Can we set it up so that only a specified forum allows anonymous posts? I have 2 forums I would like that option.

My other question is (I don't think this was mentioned in this thread, but I may have missed it) will people's signature show up when they're set to anonymous?

I greatly appreciate the work you put into this.

2. No. The sig of the Anonymous user account you create shows, not the true user's.

You test two conditions in a nested double test:
Was post made anon?
- Yes
-- was it anon before?
---Yes set a bunch of vars incl $threadupdate
---No set a bunch of vars incl $threadupdate
- No
-- was it anon before?
---Yes set a bunch of vars incl $threadupdate
---No set a bunch of vars incl $threadupdate

Then you later have logic twice to update the thread
// if (!empty($threadupdate))

$threadupdate will never be empty in either case.

Net effect: When a thread is posted and someone replies to it and then edits their reply, thread.postusername and thread.postuserid are overwridden inappropriately and the 2nd threadupdate . Thread should only be updated with anon/real user names and IDs if the OP is edited.

[/php]
You will see, I wrapped all updates to $threadupdate in a conditional validating that the post edited is the first post in the thread.

I also removed "postuserid = $edit[userid]" in all spots in that code (it was in every update to $threadupdate).

I seemed to have the same problem. I pinpointed it to editpost.php, where whenever someone edits his post, he will appear as the thread originator. I constantly have to rebuild threads. I am going to try your fix.
