I need to disable an IP address. I see where this can be done in admin control panel. Only problem is I don't know where the IP addresses are stored so I can identify the one I want to disable.
Thanks

I see in the admin control panel how to ban an IP address. Prolbem is I don't know where the IP address is captured in order to identify the IP address I want to ban. I have the forum set up to do email activate and someone is by-passing this feature. Because they are spamming the site without activating and guests are not supposed to be able to post.

So does anyone know where I can find the IP address of a user? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I answered my own question. It is in the post itself.

The trouble is IP addresses are dynamic and banning one may not actually stop the problem
If the forum is setup correctly (which version are you using?) I'm not sure how someone can actually bypass anything
You may have missed something in how you've setup the permissions of users - just a thought

If you logged in as an Administrator or Moderator, looking at above user's posts, you'll see their IP Address.
I suggest that you should upgrade to the latest version of wwf to avoid any security issues.
