i'm really not sure when this happened. all comments on my drupal site are showing up as anonymous. anonymous comments are not enabled. you must be logged in to post. i can't, for the live of me, find any setting for this. i'm really not sure how it happened.

apologies. i have comments enabled for multiple content types. all authenticated users have access to comments and may create new comments. however, when viewing comments they all display as "On June 26th, 2007 Anonymous says:", rather than displaying the user name. i am using a very slightly modified copy of the latest zen theme. i have tried a different theme so it doesn't seem to be a theme issue. if anyone can suggest a next step to try to track this down, i'd appreciate it.

I'd try clearing the cache tables in the Database.

Are you using any modules that affect comments ?

have you tried disabling the comment module and reenabling ?

I just had the same issue. Like misunderstood said, it can definitely be something that you are doing in a module you've made (if you have) by affecting comments when they're inserted.

What was going on with me was that I had made some alterations to the comment form by using hook_alter and had accidentally turned off the $form[author] array. This was causing it to pass in 0 for uid for everyone who had commented, and like yourself, I hadn't allowed anonymous users to comment.

Check both of those in any module you've added.

- good luck
