That's just my opinion.  I could be wrong.

But as dj air notee, the only people who can see the ip address are the admin and moderators. No other users see the ip.

If you can't trust your moderators, I recall seeing something in the mods section to prvent them from viewing the ip also.

But, the IP is only displayed if the person viewing the page is the admin or a moderator.  So unless you think the admin or moderators are going to attempt to hack those IP's, what is your concern?
 
Like greytricky, I'm just being nosey.  You said, "Some users don't [their IP addressed displayed]".  Are users actually able to see the IP addresses of the other users?  If so, there seems to be a flaw in the program.  They should see only "IP Logged".

Given an IP, someone could launch a DOS attack or a port probe.

greytricky...
Nothing above the Welcome to... statement on your link page is showing up on my version of Fire Fox 1.0.7.
The banner pic and menu show up ok on Opera 8.5, Netscape 8.0, and IE 6

As an Admin of a busy forum, its essential for me to have IP's on standby (just in case) what does your forum promote?  why would users not like their IP showing Confused Question 
 
just me being nosy, seems a bit odd Smile

the ip addresses are only shown to admins and moderators

you can change this by editing the forum_posts.asp file.

this has been mentioned within the forum many times before
