Is there any way for me as an administrator to search for posts or members by IP address? I suspect that a user is using a second account to stir things up, and want to find which (if any) other user names are posting from their IP address.

Only by querying your DB at source (or remotely). There's nothing in the actual forum software that will do this for you.

This is on the 'todo' list to add to the search page for admins and moderators.

This has now been added to the next release 9.64.

On the search form admins and moderators will find a new option in the Keyword Search drop down to search for an IP address.

The admin or moderator would simply enter the IP address, or part of the IP address as the keyword and select IP Address from the drop down. The search will then return all posts under that IP address for the criteria given.

This sounds like an excellent addition Bruce Clap

WOW! VERY nice! Thanks!
We had an issue where a member was using an alter-ego - signed up as two people. As one he played really dumb and a bit goofy, as the other, he played a slightly different role, and we found in real life, he's a conniving lawyer and liked to cause trouble in our hobby........ but we had to look up a lot of messages and start comparing addresses. This would have taken us only seconds with this option. Thanks.
