Zoints Anonymous Posting - Improved privacy for members · **Released**: 04-30-2008

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.

Hi,

I have this mod installed, and I'm having problems with it. I have 3 types of usergroups(Admin(which is me) one moderator and several members. Everytime I go to use this mod in a selected forum catagory it keeps posting my supposdly annoymous posts as my members user names instead of just a the defualt setting.

Any idea's as to what would cause this to happen?

Mike.

I was using this MOD on 3.8.4 successfully. I uploaded 3.8.4 PL1 and it isn't working. I read about editing the templates, but it has been so long, if I did this, I don't remember what I did. Can anyone tell me what broke?

I meant to post back. Did you get it fixed? I did find that the update, this time, did wipe out my template changes. That resolved the issue.

Can you make certain forums ONLY allowing anonymous posting?

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