Hello!

Is it possible to add one field “email” when Anonymous try to ask question? Or how I can send notifications about answers to Anonymous?

Thank you!

Hey! what happened in the end with this feature? I would like to allow anonymous to post using their email and get email notifications when I reply to them with an answer, the same than in the WordPress comments.

don’t you realize that this is an absurd request ? Notifications to an email that hasn’t been verified ?

The same way they work with the WordPress comments. I don’t find it absurd.

Comments can be moderated. Not the same with notifications. Apparently you know little about WP and running a WP site. Using your logic, i can freely add your email for notices without you wanting/knowing it.

Anonymoys/everything is a dangerous thing. Why be anonymoys ?

Because registering is a pain in the ass. In this site, for example, it failed the registration with google plus. Then I had to start again and do a normal registration, but it didn’t work because the previous email had been already been taken in the Google plus attempt. Tried to log in with Google plus and failed, then again to register with a new email…

Most users would have closed the site by the first problem.

I strongly agree with @Cagliostro as if a user want to ask as anonymous then why they should share their email? If they share email why they they shouldn’t register?
But I am thinking to implement a good functionality as seen on quora. User can turn themselves as an anonymous user if they don’t want to reveal their details. This functionality will be available in 3.0.0

Just to clarify, I am not saying that the email field is a mandatory one, but it could be optional. So if they want to fill it up, they can get notifications of answers in their questions.
