 * Hello!
 * After updating to 3.2.6 I am facing an issue that a user is not displayed correctly
   in the comment box. You can see the problem e.g. here: [Link to issue](http://yourpsvita.com/ys-viii-lacrimosa-of-dana/)
 * The user “Peter” should be “Comment-Bot” and this user is not a guest but an 
   author. If I deactivate the plugin, the user is shown correctly.
 * Cache is deleted of course, Jetpack comments are not active.
 * Can you please have a look? If you need information, please ask.
 * Many thanks!

 * Hi
    try to play with “Use guest email to detect registered account” option. If
   it’s unchecked please check and test, if it’s checked please uncheck and test.

 * Also, please make sure you use correct phrases for according user roles in wpDiscuz
   Phrases settings.

 * Hi,
 * thank you for the really quick reply.
 * I ticked the box and now the correct user is shown. But the role is not fetched
   correctly. User “Comment-Bot” is an author and should be colored red. But the
   user is still only a guest.
 * Phrases are alright, the user itself has also an avatar which is not displayed
   too.
 * Many thanks!

 * Then something is wrong with those users/comments, maybe those are imported users/
   comments or may be those have been created with non-regular method. wpDiscuz 
   doesn’t have such issue, this problem definitely comes from users/comments data.
   Or maybe some other 3rd party solutions affects wpDiscuz. Please try to check
   with default theme and w/o other plugins.

 * Also there may be such a problem if the same user post comment as a member and
   as a guest, but use the same username/email. If you’re posting a comment without
   loggin you’ll always be Guest. that doesn’t matter you have account with the 
   same username/email or not. And the “Use guest email to detect registered account”
   option is especially created to merge users/guests using email addresses. So 
   you see that difference.

 * Ok, then it was a bug in a previous version. The comment gets created after a
   post is published so the “Comment-Bot” will never be logged in.
 * Thank you very much for your support!
