Hello, I'm trying to allow guests on the forums to edit their own posts and delete their threads.
When I visited the ACP -> Users & Groups -> Groups -> Guests -> Forums & Posts and I scrolled down, I noticed there were options for this and they were activated ( http://i.imgur.com/Fxg8VdA.png ) But for some reason when I visit the forum as a guest I don't see the delete/edit buttons in postbits for posts I made as a guest.
Because it's nearly impossible to know whether it's your guest post or not. The only ways to check it :
- by IP - may often fail because of dynamic IPs
- by cookies/local storage - may often fail if someone has disabled/cleared them in browser
So it's disabled for guests regardless of that option.

The checkboxes should be possibly removed from the guest group to avoid confusion though, so moving to bug reports.
yes, it should be deleted from guest group
They should be removed/disabled. Pushing this.
