And as far as the hyperlink issue goes, I tend to agree that it does make things look weird but there is an easy fix for that. The hyperlinks for registered users go to their profile page, inside a thread the anon post hyperlink goes to »/profile/0. Why not have some uniformity and have the anon names on the anons on the main forum page and fav list link to that same page?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392962 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 21:31:50 EDT Re: Correct 'username' on postlist (main forum page/FAVS) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392960 Ascent : sign]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392960 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 21:31:36 EDT Re: Correct 'username' on postlist (main forum page/FAVS) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392787 sansri88 : *sign*]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392787 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 20:46:24 EDT Re: Correct 'username' on postlist (main forum page/FAVS) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392669 RangerTX : Object]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392669 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 20:22:53 EDT Re: Correct 'username' on postlist (main forum page/FAVS) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392484 La Luna : That has always slightly annoyed me. Another problem is that if an anon posts, you may not realize it as the name doesn't update from the last registered user post. The only thing that changes is that the thread is bumped up, which can easily be missed.

It won't be a hyperlink and would look weird.

When an anon creates a thread that nobody has replied to, it always stands out in my FF view. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392230 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 18:29:19 EDT Re: Correct 'username' on postlist (main forum page/FAVS) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392187 sashwa : *sign*]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392187 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 18:16:16 EDT Re: Correct 'username' on postlist (main forum page/FAVS) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392068 Steve Jobs : Sign]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392068 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 17:45:12 EDT Re: Correct 'username' on postlist (main forum page/FAVS) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392059 Cudni : ~Sign~

Cudni]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20392059 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 17:43:11 EDT Correct 'username' on postlist (main forum page/FAVS) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20391620 dbmaven : On both the main page of a forum, and when a thread shows up on your Favorites, if the last poster happens to be an anonymous poster, the user name displayed is that of the last registered user who posted in the thread.

I suggest that this be replaced by either the username entered by the anonymous poster, or simply "anon", either one in Italics, to differentiate it from a registered user, and more correctly show who posted last.
