G2G: Why only IP address of G2G poster?

Question

G2G poster has a name but when you click on their name you only see their IP address.  What does this mean?  They are only a guest user? Or something else?

Answer 1

They were not signed in for whatever reason. It happens to me when I post from my tablets,

Comments

You can see someone's name when they are not signed in?  I thought it said Anonymous if they were not signed in.

We now have the option of adding our name to display on our answers and comments in G2G when not signed in, so yes Peter you could see their name if they want you to.

That is how I discovered that my tablets do not want to sign me in.
