 * Hi,
 * My site doesn’t require login and anyone can post. On my user submitted post 
   form it asks for the username. However, when it posts it uses “Guest” or “Admin”
   instead of the submitted username. How can I change it so that it uses the submitted
   username?
 * thanks!

 * That is the default behavior for the free version of the form, but I’m currently
   working on a Pro version that should enable such functionality. Thanks for the
   feedback!
