Description
Hi
Firstly I would like to thank you for creating this module, it's a great idea and I consider it a killer feature for my site.
During testing, I've found that leaving the default author blank and userid 1 creating a discuss this topic shows as Anon. I then tried it with a standard user after adjusting access controls as defined in the read me also shows the topic creator as Anon.
I think this might be a bug but haven't seen anyone else mention this particular issue yet as I have just described. Any ideas?
I've logged this as a support issue for now in case I've missed anything glaringly obvious.

@Cromicon: Thanks for the report- I'm pretty sure this was working properly at some point, but I've confirmed the behaviour you describe, which is clearly a bug.
I've fixed the problem in this commit: http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=168648
Please test against the latest dev snapshot, and reopen this bug report if you still experience the problem.

Hi
Thanks for giving it a shot, I've retested and it still appears to be happening.
Please see this url to see for yourself:
http://www.starfleetcomms.com/forums/open_forums/general_discussion/blog...
for DiscussThis! forum topics:
http://www.starfleetcomms.com/content/naked_bob_0
and
http://www.starfleetcomms.com/content/installing_eve_ubuntu_810_64bit_0
Where it still shows as Anon for some reason. I'm currently using:
// $Id: discussthis.module,v 1.3.2.13 2009/02/02 16:52:46 spiderman Exp $
Hope you can help.

Hmmmm...
Now for some reason it's showing as "test" which was a test user I used once some time ago.
Why would this be? The field where you can choose that setting is blank in the Discuss This>>settings page.

My latest commit to CVS completely overhauls the way that forum topics are created and removes the 'author' option in favour of topics being authored by whomever initiates them. I'm hoping this issue is fixed as a result. Please re-test with the latest CVS code and let me know if the issue persists.
The commit is here: http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=171508

Hi Spiderman, thanks for the update but I don't think that link is right. It's pointing to the provision module cvs. Could you repost please so I know I've got the right one? Thanks.

Whoops! Sorry for the mispaste- too many things at once. Anyway, the actual commit in question is here: http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=171507
If you just grab the latest -dev tarball, or the DRUPAL-5 tag from CVS, you should get this fix :)
