I've read over the comments <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10">in this thread</a> a few times, and I've decided that no anonymous posting will be allowed at this time. I might change that in a few months, but we're in growth mode, and there is a lot of work still to be done. I'd much rather focus on improving the site for registered users. Down the road, I may open up the front page news forums to anonymous commenting, but only if I can restrict anonymous users from abusing HTML while leaving it open for registered users. Currently, that's not a phpBB option.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=209">mmidgley</a> pointed this out in the same thread: <i>"Why are Guests allowed to post, and use the same poster name as a registered user?"</i> It looks like it's a hole in phpBB, and we're actively seeking a patch for it, because there doesn't appear to be a way to disable it via the config panel.
