BACKUP YOUR TEMPLATES BEFORE ADDING THIS.

In Templates » comments FIND:

PHP Code:

  <tr>
    <td colspan="2" class="smalltext"><{$language[commentsdesc]}></td>
  </tr> 


and REPLACE with:

PHP Code:

 <{if $_USER[loggedin] == true}> <tr>
    <td colspan="2" class="smalltext"><{$language[commentsdesc]}></td>
  </tr> 


FIND:

PHP Code:

<{if $_USER[loggedin] == true}>
  <tr class="smalltext">
    <td><{$language[cmname]}><BR /><{$_USER[fullname]}><input name="fullname" value="<{$_USER[fullname]}>" type="hidden" /></td>
    <td><{$language[cmemail]}><BR /><{$_USER[primaryemail]}><input name="email" value="<{$_USER[primaryemail]}>" type="hidden" /></td>
  </tr>
  <{else}>
  <tr class="smalltext">
    <td><{$language[cmname]}><BR /><input id="fullnameinput" name="fullname" type="text" size="30" class="swifttext"></td>
    <td><{$language[cmemail]}><BR /><input name="email" type="text" size="30" class="swifttext"></td>
  </tr>
  <{/if}> 


REPLACE with:

PHP Code:

 <{if $_USER[loggedin] == true}> <tr>
    <td colspan="2" class="smalltext"><{$language[commentsdesc]}></td>
  </tr>
  <tr class="smalltext">
    <td style="padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;"><b><{$language[cmname]}></b> <{$_USER[fullname]}><input name="fullname" value="<{$_USER[fullname]}>" type="hidden" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2" class="smalltext"><{$language[cmcomments]}><BR /><textarea id="commentarea" name="comments" style="WIDTH:98%;" class="swifttextarea" rows="4"></textarea></td>
  </tr> 


* NOTE: You may remove the padding if you need to - i added this to fix a bug with our CSS

FIND:

PHP Code:

  </tr>

 <input type="hidden" name="commenttype" value="<{$commenttype}>">
 <input type="hidden" name="typeid" value="<{$commenttypeid}>">
 <{$formextension}>
 </form> 


REPLACE With:
