Topic: IP Address in "Author" box

First off - great BB. Just what I was looking for in the speed department.

I want to turn off the display of a posters IP address in the "Author" box beside their posts but cannot locate this in the Admin panel - where shoudl I look?

Thanks

Hmm, isn't the IP only visible to admins/ + mods, hence i see no real point in turning it off?

It is only visible to admins and moderators. You can disable it completely, but then you would have to edit viewtopic.php.

I'll make a mod for making IP's totally confidental from everybody. It will be done within 2 days.

And I know this is off the topic, but how long does it usually take Cactuz to put a mod on his site? I uploaded a mod last night to remove the banning power from moderators and it is still not up there.

I'll ask him why it's delaying.

First, I was away 2 days and secondly I had a problem with the script. It's all fixed now and usually the mod gets hosted the same day.

Btw: You made a new "step" which not in the standard.. don't do that wink

Lol sorry about that. I wanted people to remove that line, but I did not want to put REPLACE WITH (nothing). Oh well. Thanks for hosting it.
