Interesting question!

How did you access the "Guest profile"?

I had considered this once before but never finished looking into it.

The anonymous user is installed on setup and does not have an actual profile I can access from the members list; it does however have a field in the SQL database.

I thought that perhaps one could be installed through there by changing the
(avatar value )

and the (avatar_loc value)

The needed Avatar path would be something like
 <img src="http://Domain.Name/images/avatars/smiley03.jpg" alt="" width="64" height="64" />
depending on what avatar you wished to use, or if it was custom or uploaded.

I made one failed attempt at it and quit figuring it wasn't really worth my time and effort since I seldom allow anonymous posts (too much trouble). However just because I did not succeed does not mean it can't be done or would not work.

If I were to try it again I would go the same route and look into the rest of the permissions setup for the anonymous and registered user's masks for a conflict.

But I am not even sure if it would or could work even then without some sort of patch or modification to the PHP.

If you figure it out let us know.

Anonymous posts are stored with poster_id=0, but the anonymous user is id=1.

To see avatars, execute: UPDATE fud30_msg SET poster_id=1 WHERE poster_id=0;

I'm not the original developer and don't know if this is intentional or a bug.

That would seem intentional. With the way the forum works "Global anonymous, Global Registered then First Forum".

So could changing those values have a detrimental effect?

I cannot think of any. If it does cause problems, it would be quite easy to do a reverse update.
