++, but..

"I think there are better ways of dealing with it. One might be to have the "Create" button changed to "Post anonymously" when not logged in, which I would expect to be enough"

I just tested this by attempting to reply to your post via the .com domain, rather than the .org to which I'm currently logged in. It shows:

You aren't logged in.

And I had to scroll down to see the post and it's associated buttons. Perhaps you're right in so much that there's some more HTML/CSS fu which could be used to make this seem more obvious, though people may still miss it, for example browsing using a text based browser. On a related subject. I use the (poll winning;) Perlmonks blue theme. The site looks a lot different before I log in, so it's much less likely (if not impossible) for me to think I'm logged in when I'm not. I don't think the site has ever logged me out in all the years I posted.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
