Hi guys,

I only have 1 user yet a user names Anonymous keeps posting in my Geeklog. Any idea how to stop this?

I am running version 2.2.1sr1

Anonymous User is the user used for anyone visiting your site that is not logged in.

If they are posting comments you have to disable anonymous user posting for comments (or articles). You will find the config option in the Geeklog Configuration.

In this case they posted a story. There is only one user, me. But the author name was Anonymous.

Sounds like you have the config option "Submit Login Required?" set to false. Enabling that will disable anonymous submissions for articles, links, and events (if you have those plugins installed).

If you want submissions you can also enable "Article Submission Queue?" which would keep the article from being published until you approve it.
