Introduction
This mod adds functionality to allow users to post anonymously within boards on the forum, and (depending on the settings) whether they can see who posted anonymously.

Admin Settings
There are new settings under Admin -> Configuration -> Modification Settings -> PAIT:
1) Which boards the users are allowed to post anonymously in.
2) Hide users posting anonymously
3) Who Can See Anonymous Poster setting controls what can be seen:
  > No One.  Also disables recording Member ID - No one will ever know who made the post!  Ninja mode!
  > No One - The member who posted anonymously is recorded, but no one will ever know!
  > Only poster can see their anonymous post - Only the member posting anonymously can see his/her anonymous posts.
  > Everyone with "See Who Posted Anonymously" permission - OP plus membergroups with Who Can See Anonymous Poster permission can see anonymous posts.
4) See Who Posted Anonymously membergroups.
5) Topic Starter can see who posted anonymously? allows topic starters to see all anonymous posters in THEIR topic.
6) Topic Starter See Who Posted membergroups.

Admins and membergroups with the appropriate permission granted can also view who posted what anonymously, assuming that the posting setting is set to "See Who Posted Anonymously" permission permitted....  Admin who don't want this feature active can disable it by going into the Post Settings page and change the Who Can See Anonymous Poster setting.

Compatibility Notes
This mod was tested on SMF 2.0.12 and SMF 2.1 RC2, but should work on SMF 2.0 and up.  SMF 2.1 Beta 2 and SMF 1.x is not and will not be supported.

Board color and icons mod should be installed AFTER this mod, otherwise you will have a minor (but easily manually fixable) conflict.

Changelog
The changelog can be viewed at XPtsp.com.

Compatibility With Likes Pro mod
If operation # 1 in the Sources/Profile-View.php reads Test Failed and operation # 2 is Test Successful, then it is safe to proceed with installation.  Operation # 2 addresses a weird change that the pro version Likes mod makes that I can't overcome any other way....
