hey.

yeah i suspected as much sadly.

i know on simplepress forums they get round it by creating a ‘fake’ account for whatever username is typed in as the guest username, i was just hoping somebody had tried to modify it to work on buddypress at some point.

i dont have anything like the skills to try it lol.

ill have a coffee and look at the adding hidden text to the status update field again

ive pretty much given up on this. been 20 hours straight trying lol

as for opening up the status comments to all site visitors, it looks like that one is impossible aswell.

its a shamebecause i think both features would be universally popular.

ill take a break and maybe try later. take care folks x
