Post anonymously possible

[sternenfee]

Hi,

I would like to set up an area in the forum for my members where they can post anonymously as a MEMBER.

Is this possible?

You can copy a lot of the code from the template, then add a conditional to show "Anonymous" instead of the actual username. From there you would also need to install a modification that prevent the display of IP Addresses (otherwise your moderators might be able to determine who the anonymous user is, based on IP address display icon).

It can be done, with some tinkering of the template and adding in some conditionals in the correct spots .

Hi,

thank you for reply.

I know very little about PHP. An installation to hide the IP address is not necessary as long as only team members see it.
The anonymous post should not be in the whole forum, but only in ONE forum. So everything is normal. 'Welcome', 'Forum news', 'Weather', 'Cooking' etc. and an area - e.g. 'Anonymous area' where you can then post anonymously. I don't know if that's explained correctly in my first post

Just modify the forum(s) permissions.
Go to usergroups -> usergroup manager -> unregistered / not logged in and edit user group accordingly.
