Description
I'm using D 5.16. I've been using this fine module for a while without a problem, Now it does not work on any of the nodes that I allow anonymous users to post content. The module shows up in the list of modules but I can not see it when I enable details for each module. Also it shows fine in the list of available updates. Please advise. Thank you.

I just upgraded to this new version two days ago. The previous version that I liked so much worked flawlessly.

1. The module must be listed under /admin/build/modules , under "Other" tab.
2. We added a small settings so you should enable this form for each content type.
For sample : you want to display for the content type which allow anonymous posting, you should go to edit page that content type and enable it. ( like : /admin/content/types/page)
This module doesn't enable for any content type by default .

Thanks for the feedback. I was able to find the problem and have successfully activated the module.
The Inline Registration module was in the list of modules, but I was was looking for some administrative interface and there really is none except on the node type pages. At the time I had no clue on what to do next. The current readme.txt was no help at all either.
I would propose that you add the following to the instructions of the readme.txt and reference it on the module's project page. Please edit it as you see fit. Other users may find it useful.
"Once the module is enabled, there are two additional steps to activate it:
1) Decide on what nodes you want to allow anonymous users to post content to. Then go to /admin/content/types and edit those node types that you selected. Do this by scrolling to the bottom of the content type page where you find the Inline Registration section (see my pic attached). Check the box and set the weight where this is shown in your node type. Save the settings.
2) Now go to /admin/user/access and select for anonymous users the node type actions (for example create photo, create story, create listing, etc.) In essence you are giving anonymous users the right to create the nodes. Save the settings. Run cron and test the nodes you selected. That's it. You should see the inline registration at the top of any of the node types that you selected.
All the best
