User IP Question
Where does one find a trouble-makers IP's in order to ban them? Are the IPs available somewhere in the Admin area? Can you search on an IP to see just how many users are using it?

Hi,

The administrator can see the IP beside each post, and is able to just click on the ip to ban them site wide, or just in a specific forum. You can't currently search on an IP, but it would be pretty easy to add.

Cheers,

Alex

Thank you very much. By pretty easy to add does that mean for the developers or an admin of a forum?

Well, if you are familiar with SQL or Perl it would be easy to add (it's one SQL query -- or a single perl call). It depends on your experience level.

Cool! Lucky for me I've been programming perl for about 4 years. Not that you care but I'm a data analyst on a huge simulation program who relies heavily on scripting tools to process data. The SQL stuff is new but the perl and CGI stuff is old hat.
