try line 622 (or near it, it may be an old copy i looked at)

and look for this line

If NOT rsTopic.EOF Then strUsername = rsTopic("Name")

just add to the end like this:

If NOT rsTopic.EOF Then strUsername = rsTopic("Name") & "_Guest"

and this SHOULD put guests posts so its username_Guest

if this doesnt work, post back and i'll have a proper look when i can

It would be great if in the future a mod would be made so that there's a check on the uniquenes of the names used by a guest.

i dont think stopping guests using usernames is good

becose on my site i only allow guest posting in 1 forum so they can get help if they cant log in or have any problems

so the "_Guest" i think would be best

and you can see there a "guest" user anyway so it doesnt really matter in my opinion

You're right!

And because they all get, in my Dutch forum, "-Gast" they do not have a unique name. To get that the need to register  . We will leave it like it is now
