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.

It's not compatible with attachments.

Thats not true.
If i go anonymouse i can upload pics after using the preview.
I think the plugin needs a auto refresh after choosing anonymous to switch in the right account.

Sorry for my terrible english.

This has been a known issue since 2009:
http://network.zoints.com/showthread.php?t=3959

It hasn't been resolved. I don't expect it will ever be resolved knowing how the VB attachment system works (to a point) it is not easy to give another user permission to upload attachments which is basically what would need to happen here.

It could be possible to overwrite the user id?s at the attachments at posting anonymouse or not?

I don't understand your suggestion. For attachments to show right the attachments must be in the post of the user who attached it- faking who attached files isn't easy and why I believe this has never been fixed.

I got the same problem. Its an issue with sql script and a deprecated supported keyword used the create the table I believe. Open the XML file and change on line 24 from:

TYPE=MyISAM

and replace with:

ENGINE=MyISAM


Then try the import again. Worked for me in Vbulletin 4.1.12 after the change.

Thank you, BirdOPrey5 and mboyce84 - I was able to get this running again on 4.1.12 as well.
