16576,comment_form() fields being displayed only for non logged in users,maorb,,"I've just noticed this - When using the '''comment_form()''' function and adding some comment meta fields,using the fields array in the $args, these fields are being showed in the front-end only for non logged in users.
In this case, the registered users can never use these comment fields.

Look at wp-includes/comment-template, lines 1561-1573 (WP 3.0.5), it parse the $args['fields'] in the else block - 

{{{
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
	<?php echo apply_filters( 'comment_form_logged_in', $args['logged_in_as'], $commenter, $user_identity ); ?>
	<?php do_action( 'comment_form_logged_in_after', $commenter, $user_identity ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
	<?php echo $args['comment_notes_before']; ?>
	<?php
	do_action( 'comment_form_before_fields' );
	foreach ( (array) $args['fields'] as $name => $field ) {
		echo apply_filters( ""comment_form_field_{$name}"", $field ) . ""\n"";
	}
	do_action( 'comment_form_after_fields' );
	?>
<?php endif; ?>
}}}

I think it is better that added meta fields should be displayable for all users (logged in and not logged in), or even to add a parameter to let the developer decide which extra fields are shown to logged or not logged users.
