Hi guys!

Guest can post in my forum.

How can they change theirs name?
There is no "name" field when they post.
URL?? There should just be a box labelled 'username'... but, if they're going to have a name, why not just register?? o.O
Yes, it is here. Password box confused me. I thouhgt it was for login, not for naming.

It is not logical showing password box for guests here. And name box should contain "Guest" by default. I will delete password box from template.

Because some people don’t like registering just for leaving one post or asking one question.
Besides, it is very good for new forum )

Thanks for pointing.
Can you, please point me what template should i edit? Cannot find out.
I've found it. loginbox template
It's there so you can login and post the message as the user you login with.

Look, this is what Juliet said:

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)

And this is my version:

"What's in a name? That which we call a guest
By any other name would leech the best."

Hope you got my hint.

Regards
Beautiful poem and, yes, it is a very moot point.

But I like openness and as little participation barriers as possible.
