Hi,

is there a way to give anonymous users the possibility to enter an own username when writing a comment like it was in Drupal 5? I really don't like, that all comments are now only named "guest".

Thanks,
Pablo

Yes you can, the comment settings have just been moved in Drupal 6, so now comment settings are per node type.

Go to admin/content

Click 'edit' next to the node type that you want to allow anonymous posting with user

There is a collapsible field with the comment settings.

Change it to "Anonymous posters may leave their contact information"

Hope that helps!

Cheers
Mark

Hi, My Drupal version is 6.2. But I don't find any "Anonymous posters may leave their contact information". I only find 3 options in comment settings:
- Disable
- Read only
- Read/Write.

Thanks,
Oliver.

Well, I found the solution.
Turn on the right to access comment by guest: User Management -> Permissions. Then just check the checkbox.

Hmmm... how would one let guests choose their own names when adding a comment on the latest version of drupal 6.8 ?

The same method works in the latest version of Drupal. Visit the Content Types Admin page /admin/content/types and click "edit" next to the content type for wish you want to allow anonymous users to enter info. Under the heading "Comment settings" you'll see the option for "Anonymous Commenting."
