It appears that all forum members on our forum have there IP's displayed and the Admins don't.

A couple of user have asked for the IP's to be hidden, which we feel is a reasonable request.

Yet we cannot find any option to turn this off for them or all.

Can anybody help.

Thanks

Could you please provide a board link?
Are you the admin on the particular forum, as all admin are able to view members IP addresses, while members can't view anyones (by default).
It is possible to turn off your own ability to view members IP adresses I think, & I will be happy to help once you provide a link to the board you're referring to, so I can be sure.

btw - Please use the correct posting format next time you create a support query: http://forum.forumer.com/showthread.php?t=25494

I thought the link under My forum on the left was working !

The person who has asked to not have his IP address is not admin and he can see everybody elses IP's.

Should I assume the member who claims that he/she can view all the IP's is also a moderator on those 6 or so forums?
If so, all you need to do is login to your ACP and follow ~
Forum Control --> Moderators
Now click "Edit" for all the forums in which the user moderates and alter the option: Can view posters IP addresses? to the answer "No" -- Then click "Edit this moderator" and you're done.

You (the admin) will still be able to view everyones IP address, yet the member who could before won't be able to anymore. If you would also like to turn off your ability to view others IP addresses, please post back.

No worries, I'll stand by for the update.
Thanks for choosing Forumer!

Let me know,
stylus

P.S. I play the game: America's Army as well & have raised my account up to 70 honor! ^_^
It's great considering that Aussies can now buy leased honor servers.
I haven't played in recent times though, too busy with other commitments.
