Question How to hide e-mail field in quickpost?

Hi,

I have my board set up so yo can post anonymously (with the number code). On the board itself all is well. On the discussbot, though, it is requiring a valid e-mail address. Turns out any old fake e-ail address will work fine--but having that field there may turn of some potential posters.

I'm guessing it is just a php thing but I don't know php enough to dare to try it on my own.

So...anyone know how to hide the "E-mail" field in quickpost?

Thanks,

Anyone?

I just want to stop the e-mail field from showing--it doesn't seem to be really required for guests...

Thanks,

I'd like to know how to do this to. If you work it out please post it here.

Find "<form" from discussbot files.. Email option should be nearby..?

But please check that email address is not required field. If it is, anonymous users cannot post into forum.

O.K., I don't know PHP but how about this...

The code takes as input the text from the e-mail field, right? It does some sort of validation check since garbage won't work--it must be in proper e-mail form. However, it doesn't seem to care what the e-mail address is--it doesn't check that it is real, etc.

So....why not simply hard-code any old e-mail into the input request--so the code is fed an e-mail for it to validate and make it happy.

At the same time we also delete the line that displays the e-mail text and text input box.

I'm tempted to try it on my own but would prefer someone who knows PHP, even a little, have a look...

I would *really* like to fix this...
