When I released my Post As Anonymous Mod Hack (now obsolete), many users wanted the ability to allow ANY user to post anonymously. This hack fulfils that request.
It is a VERY long and difficult hack to install. Therefore, I have written the instruction file radically different than any I have ever written before. This one is written in discrete steps. Rather than having you blindly edit files and hope everything works when it's done, I have you do the hack in steps and TEST each step.
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CODE, I SUGGEST YOU POST A SERVICE REQUEST AND ASK SOMEBODY TO INSTALL THIS FOR YOU.
Features:
A. Control anonymous posting at the board, forum, usergroup, and user level.
This means that you can use the anonymous posting in any combination that you can use features such as allowing users to reply to posts.
B. Users can post anonymously, but still subscribe to the thread.
C. You can set the anonymous username per usergroup. For example, Admins can post as Anonymous Admin, while regular users post as Anonymous Registered Member.
D. Mods and Admins can see who truly posted.
E. Users can see their name on their own anonymous post.
F. The "edited by" message does not show on anonymous posts.
G. Lastposter works properly.
H. Search will not pull up a user's anonymous posts under their name. But, you can search for all anonymous posts.
I. Anonymous posts are marked so that you don't forget the post is anonymous and "out" yourself.
J. Anonymous posts can be safely quoted.
I will not support this hack for any version of vbulletin other than 3.0.7.

Please can someone look at editpost.php? I still have problems in some sections with thread getting the name of person who edited a post as the thread owner. I constantly have to rebuild thread info.
Sorry gang. I just haven't had the coding time lately. I'm sharing my home computer with the entire family now and every time I stand up to get a drink of water or to check dinner on the stove, a family member dives for the puter. It doesn't make for good coding concentration.
No. It wouldn't. It would mean the user couldn't edit their posts but a mod could. It would also mean that a post couldn't be changed to or from anonymous after it's made.

The anonymous user couldn't edit their posts...but normal posts could still be edited?
While it *does* take away a little of the functionality, the alternative (having the first post of a thread take the username of anyone who has edited their posts in it) is worse.
I don't even know if it happens every time...but it does happen.
i use vb 3.0.7 and when i installed the hack it, when i went to post it didn't come up with that option and yes, i did the template change.. any ideas?
If you installed as instructed, you should be able to tell me what step you are on. There is testing involved at each level of installation to help narrow down any installation issues.
