Hi all,

When send a post using the forum advance activity, the option in selected that all post are anonymous.  When receiving the email to the mailbox from noreply@moodle.ucl.ac.uk, it shows sen "by Anonymous user" but when clicking on the link it takes your to the profile of the person posting, hence its not an anonymous post.  Any ideas why this is? thanks.


How to create issue


1. create a forum (advanced) activity

2. ensure that "Allow anonymous posting" is ticked in the settings

3. in manage forum descriptions, ensure that subscribe button is "yes"

4. submit a post

5. You'll receive an email into your mailbox from noreply@moodle.ucl.ac.uk

6. Click on the "by Anonymous link"

7. This takes you to the users profile defeating the purpose of anonymous.
