OK, one more question . . .

I'm seeing a lot of questions in different forums by "Anonymous". Another glitch?

More of a limitation...

In short, that happens when a member registers and then posts to the forums before his/her registration is fully processed. It's happening more and more lately due to the social login (Facebook/Yahoo/Google) option, which increases the delay. However, we can still lock, delete, ban, etc. as usual, and a workaround to display the username should be coming in the near future.

All the other crap that the pages contain is getting to be a real pain. When the page(s) stall, I notice at the bottom it is waiting for something from somewhere else to load. When I encounter a site that I have to wait on because some tracking BS or FB or Google is trying to load, I usually leave. These forums are getting worse and worse.
