Re: [phpslash-users] comments.class question

[Peter S. <pe...@op...>]

This is what I got from my testing:

When loged in as the following and made comments the psl_comment table 
contained the following:

god:
user_id = 0, name = god

peter (regular user):
user_id = 21, name = Anonymous Poster

NOT loged in:
user_id = 0, name = Anonymous

Is it correct that the user_id is not recorded and the name is ?
