Hi tsingson,

This questions has been asked before, and probably needs a FAQ question somewhere - basically, Gossamer Forum has two requirements before guest posting is enabled - the first is the option you selected, and the second is that you have to add a "Guest" user with status set to "Guest". It is this guest user that all guest posts will be associated with.

I ran into this problem today while trying to setup a single forum open to all. I cannot find a "guest" user, so I guess maybe this wasn't created by previous upgrades?

What parameters does this guest user need to have?

Okay, I entered my "Guest" users with status "Guest". It needed an e-mail address so I gave it a fake one. Will that have any repercussions?
