Testing with drupal 4.7 beta 4. When an anon user posts a shout and does not have privs to post with out aproval, all other anon users can still see the shout listed as waiting for aproval, although it does say no shouts above that. To see what i mean, I have shout box enabled on my test site. j o n y dot n e t

Wow, how did you get it to work? What version are you using?

Have you tried this on more than one computer/IP address? Anonymous users can see their shouts as long as the IP addresses are the same, and I'm pretty sure they only have a window or 10 or 20 minutes. Different anonymous users on the same external IP address (many networked computers use the same external IP) would be able to see each others shouts during this time. This behavior has confused me a few times too, but I think it's a good way of doing things. It's important that the anonymous user sees their shout awaiting approval so they know what's going on and know that their shout was submitted.

The bigger problem with the Shoutbox on your site is the formatting... where are all those paragraph tags coming from?

Yeha, i was about to post another issue about that, nothing happens when a user enters an url, unless it has an http:// in it, and then it gets those wierd

things. I'm on freenode btw, if you want to ask me any questions or what not

I didnt test it from another ip, but i did test it from another browser. You know, alot of users *can* come from the same ip, even whole countries, if they are behind a proxy, maybe a better way to handle that is to track it by session id or something.

was mistaken, marking this as closed, will resubmit as a feature request to use session id instead of ip address
