Posting anonymously, then logging in.

The Unknown User
I have a forum that is related to a specific company where some people post news that they'd rather not have associated with their account.  These uses also have real accounts in the system.

If a users logs out, make an anonymous post, then logs back in, nabble is 'smart' enough to associate the posted-as-anonymous posts with the now-logged-in user, which is exactly the opposite of what was intended.  Now others, like bosses and supervisors, know who posted what.

I can't find a way to "log out" the anonymous user to break that session magic.  

Does deleting the nabble cookie work? Is there another way around this? A forum option to turn this off completely?

Thanks!

You could create a registered account and share the password with those that may want to post.
Does that work for you?

I guess:

• create a new Nabble account

• for that account, make the user name Anonymous something-or-other

• share the credentials for that account with people who wish to use it for anonymous posts

• discourage all users from changing the user name associated with the account.
