in thread New Feature: Claim anonymously posted nodes

show me an alert when pressing the "post" button that I am currently anonymous

Currently, when you click the 'Preview' button, if you aren't logged in, the next page shows:

You aren't logged in.

If you're not seing that.... that's on you, I guess. :-)

But yeah, we could probably put that in more places, such as in the initial 'Comment on' page. But we don't want to make it too obnoxious for those who are intentially posting anonymously.

    gosh i never seen this sign, or rather i never registered it. sorry

      I haven't done this unintentionally ever again after changing the theme when logged in. Worked for over a dozen years now.

      Probably a better way to solve this "globally" is to change the text of the submit button to something like "create anonymously" or displaying the warning right there.

      But obnoxious is in the eye of the beholder...
