in reply to "Please, log in ..."

Anonymous is heard saying, "if you remember my previous post ..."

Anonymous Monks should be aware of the limitations of anonymously-posting, and not say things like that (or assume they can be differentiated from others), and instead just link to the post they're referring to. That's all

    I think this anonymous monk made a good point about accidental "log out".

    I have followed links in posts that crossed between the .org and .com domain and accidentally posted a reply anonymously. I would be surprised if no one else has.

    The change she/he suggested should not be significant as the website already has logic to display this differently based on whether the user is logged in or not.

      It would annoy some monks at first but I’d like to see URIs redirect/rewrite the extra domains to a canonical version. I’ve always thought it a little goofy that it doesn’t.

         (www\.)?perlmonks.(com|org)/ -> perlmonks.org/

      Sidenote: I set up my account to use tobyink’s themes and now it’s impossible to mistake the state of authentication.

        My account theme is very different from the "not logged in" theme, but as the anonymous poster I cited noted, if I am too focused on the content, I don't always notice the theme change.

        But I will look at tobyink's theme to see if it helps more than my current theme.

      Hi RonW, you wanted to reply to Re^2: "Please, log in ..." :)

      The current buttons I see are [preview][create]

      I also agree it would be better for the theme challenged if the buttons for anonymous monk were [preview][create anonymously]
