Hi Raisthlin. Without knowing your version it's kinda hard to give a specific answer, but in general it's answerable. First off, it might be a setting on one of your "settings" tabs in the back office. Not sure off hand. I'm pretty sure that in the past you would have to edit one of the files in the "conf" folder to change a parameter with a name like "require_email" from a 1 to a 0 - but I'm not sure which version(s) and what file that might have been in. A third method that would also be version-specific would be to pre-fill a fake email address into the field so that it would be there without the commenter writing it in. Oh hey a fourth is that you could skip out of the check for if they put in an email address or not.

So ... uh ... got a link to your blog? We need to know version number and skin most of the time, but really with a link we get everything we could possibly need to fully answer a question a heck of a lot quicker.

Ah thanks for the infos. i checked under all settings tabs in my blog control panel but couldn't find anything. I might look in the config files now that i know what to look for (require_email)

I have the latest version of b2evo and actually using the pixel green skin

Thx a lot !

In conf/_advanced.php find and alter:

/**
 * Comments: Set this to 1 to require e-mail and name, or 0 to allow comments
 * without e-mail/name.
 * @global boolean $require_name_email
 */
$require_name_email = 1;

OR in skins/_item_comment_form.inc.php find this:

		$Form->text( 'u', $comment_author, 40, T_('Name'), '', 100, 'bComment' );
		$Form->text( 'i', $comment_author_email, 40, T_('Email'), '<br />'.T_('Your email address will <strong>not</strong> be revealed on this site.'), 100, 'bComment' );
		$Form->text( 'o', $comment_author_url, 40, T_('Website'), '<br />'.T_('Your URL will be displayed.'), 100, 'bComment' );

Then change it to this:

		$Form->text( 'u', 'Your Name', 40, T_('Name'), '', 100, 'bComment' );
		$Form->text( 'i', 'youremail@yourdomain.com', 40, T_('Email'), '<br />'.T_('Your email address will <strong>not</strong> be revealed on this site.'), 100, 'bComment' );
		$Form->text( 'o', $comment_author_url, 40, T_('Website'), '<br />'.T_('Your URL will be displayed.'), 100, 'bComment' );

By the way that file might also be in skins/yourskin/ folder so change both if it is. The skins/ path will affect all skins that don't have the file in the actual skin is how it works.
