You don't have to do anything to allow unregistered people comment, it's how the software works by default

Thats what I thought. But if someone were to try and comment on my blog that isn't logged in this is what they get:

"Comments are not allowed from anonymous visitors."

do you have a link to your blog where this is happening?

¥

yes. www.itchintoscrap.com/blogs

I'm getting a mysql connection error when I try and view your site?

*edit* ok, it's back online again

go inti admin > app settings > plugins and click the edit icon for the basic antispam plugin.

tick "allow anonymous comments" ;)

I knew it was something dumb like that! Thank you :)
