It turns out they do have old accts with wp and/or gravatar.

I did try to change the other settings, and still some were prompted to log in.

Waiting to find out if any of them were ever members of WP.com or gravatar and that being the problem...

They do not have wordpress accounts, but when they go to make a comment on my blog they are prompted to "sign in". I found the box and unchecked it for allowing only wordpress members to comment - but still they can't comment with just filling in name/email/url. Help?
