I "think" that the way UBB does it is some sort of cookie tracking. Once the unregistered guest hits the main page of the forum, a cookie is created and in the perl code the IP is logged.... from there the guest is tracked via the cookie and the initial IP is the only one logged.

I will check on the UBB boards re: the lastest version which is what I was using to see if this is still the method.

If you stored the IP address of every single person who looked at theforum the database would quickly become overlarge and slow down theforum.

If you look at the number of Guests looking at the forum on site over a10 minute period it always shows between 15 and 40 at any time. Thatwould mean storing around 3000 IP addresses each day of people who aresimply browsing the forum.

To save on performance you might as well look at the server log files to get this data.

I can't imagine that InfoPop or UBB would store the IP address of everyusers browsing the board, they may however have some way of interactingwith server logs to get this data which is possible in some otherlanguages but not so much so in ASP.

I guess I got spoiled by the InfoPop UBB...it captured the IP of all guests upon entering the site as well as it tracked all guests and members of the forum by IP and what topics they were viewing.

Just look at your server logs.  Every IP address that hit your website is logged there.]]> Wed, 26 Nov 2003 11:11:23 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/ip-adress-of-new-users_topic7210_post38165.html#38165 <![CDATA[IP Adress of new users : Webber wrote: Hi, Yes that...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/ip-adress-of-new-users_topic7210_post38160.html#38160 Author: thekiwi

So when "would" you collect it ....?  There would need to be a trigger ... so would you want it everytime they looked at a page?

Each time a Guest posts their IP address is shown above the post in thesame place where you see IP Logged, this IP address can be viewed bythe forum admin.]]> Wed, 26 Nov 2003 03:34:03 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/ip-adress-of-new-users_topic7210_post38101.html#38101 <![CDATA[IP Adress of new users : Hi boRg, My mistake I meant to...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/ip-adress-of-new-users_topic7210_post38065.html#38065 Author: Webber

Hi boRg,

My mistake I meant to ask is there any way to log visitor GUEST IPs that can be viewed by admin? I run a community site and this has been invaluable. UBB had this feature but I dumped UBB to move to this great forum. (Guests cannot post they must register on my forum).

Thanks in advance, Robin

The quetsions was logging IP's when a new users registers so this would need to be added to the register.asp page.

When a user posts and message their IP is logged, this info can beviewed by the admin at the top of the persons post where you see IPLogged.

If the admin clicks on the IP address a pop up window opens allowing the IP address or range to be banned.

Being new to ASP and this forum (running ver 7.6), why code would need to be added to the register page?

Also, is there any way to log visitor IPs that can be viewed by admin? I run a community site and this has been invaluable. UBB had this feature but I dumped UBB to move to this great forum.

Thanks in advance, Robin
