• Change "Allow full anonymous" to "yes"
• Note that this only works for the front page, and NOT for courses with guest access.
• You will also need to check that Authenticated User and Guest role both have permission to Submit Feedback Activity.

Is Activity Completion recorded if the Feedback activity is set to anonymise usernames?
