Zoints Anonymous Posting - Improved privacy for members · **Released**: 10-14-2006

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.

I also use Firefox and several of my members do, and it works perfectly.

There is an issue if you use this modification and have a password protected forum. Users write their post, click Anonymous and submit, but then get an error message that they cannot access the page (I'm assuming because the Anonymous user hasn't entered the password for the forum). They can't post polls at all because once they are directed to the poll page, they get the same error.

Does anyone have an idea for a workaround on this?

ETA ~ I tried installing this modification so that the anonymous user could be ina usergroup that didn't need to enter the forum password: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=141665 The got me around the posting issue (users can now post Anonymously in the password protected forum) but they still get the permission denied error when redirecting to the poll options.

Is there any chance you'll add "Post Anonymously" to the quick reply box too? Thanks

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
