I'm not sure I'm following you... Pebble is a blogging software, not a forum software. Random users from the internet can leave a comment to an entry (even putting their home page in it) but they cannot create an account.
I was also using a forum soft back in the days (jforum) and was having this problem. With Pebble, there is no such thing as a profile page for other users than the editors. Or I'm missing something ;-) On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 4:56 PM, David Ferrero <[email protected]> wrote: > I enabled comment moderation so that wasn't my problem.
