The only way that this would be possible if the user is not a moderator or forum admin is if the forum is using the Access version and the webmaster did not secure the Access database and has left it in a location where it can be downloaded.

If this is the case then the entire forum is vulnerable to hackers and the webmaster MUST secure their Access database, as per the install instructions.

I am an ordinary member of a Web Wiz Forum and one of the other users claims that she is able to retreive everyones IP addresses from the forum.
 
Supposely she has no moderator access, but is just an ordinary user, like me.
 
Does anybody know of any secrurity problems that could cause this?
 
TIA
