   Hello!
   I am getting started with bbpress and have searched Google and the bbpress forums for an answer to this to no avail - Can I let anybody, even people who aren't logged-in, post to my bbpress forum? If so, how can I set this up?

   Thanks!

   This allows anonymous posting:
   http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-anonymous-posting/

   This allows you to add Name/email/website fields:
   http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-meta/

   But it's really tricky stuff to add post-level meta info to version .9, so this may not be a stable combo of plugins. It should get a lot easier to have post-level meta information in 1.0...

   Hi ...

   for the stable 0.95 release there is a plugin to allow anonymous user to post:
   http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-anonymous-posting

   I use this plugin in combination with:
   http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test

   But in my test environment the plugin don't work with the bbPress 1.0 Release Candidate.

   @Markus Pezold

   Thanks but this is not exactly what I'm looking for.

   I do NOT want Anonymous posting.

   What I simply want to do is display the HTML textarea field to either create a post or reply to an existing post to non-logged in users.

   Then, once that user clicks submit - it then asks them to either login or create an account.

   I don't believe this is driven by bbPress but it's a demostration of what I'm talking about.

   Notice how at the bottom of the page, you can "Start New Discussion", then once you submit the form - it prompts you to login.

   Hi... hmmm...

   I've no idea yet, if its possible to implement this function to a bbPress Board.

   If you take a look deep into http://www.streeteasy.com you can see this forum saves the input into an cookie file (discussion_category_id=3007; discussion_title=Test; comment=test;). So - there it's possible to log in or to register - and then use your input for a new entry.
