    Solved Finding I/P Addresses a user registers and posts from?

    Post by Bloodhound1958 Tue 26 Aug 2014 - 1:44

    Hello,

    I am having a bit of an issue with spammers registering under different usernames. How do I see what I/P addresses a person registers and posts from? 

    Thanks!

    The only way to find out their IP is if they have posted which is to go to the post and click a button that says 'IP', it should be located near the edit and quote buttons.

    Other than that the only other way is while they're online, you can view them in the ACP at the bottom.

    No IP button on any posts on my forum.

    Its possible you aren't seeing it because you need a button in that place.

    ACP --> Display --> Pics Management --> Advanced --> Buttons --> View IP address of poster --> Add in a button --> Save

    Then you should now see the option to check someones IP on a post.
