I took out the ability to add messages anonymously when my site was hit by some idiots from Taiwan who filled up the forums with rubbish. I'm willing to try it as it was but can't for the life of me remember what it was I did to shut them out. Stupid question I know, but there you go. Has anyone an answer? Thanks.

Make sure that the $user_groups setting allow posting in forum.pl. Here's the default for the Guests group:

$user_groups{'guests'} = { 'name'=>'Guests',
'view'=>1, 'accview'=>1, 'post'=>1, 'topicset'=>0, 'ownedit'=>0, 'anyedit'=>0, 'accedit'=>0 };

Good luck - Angus.
