IP addresses

[kelebek]

Hi all,

Just having a play around with Xen Foro & the admin cp.

I have a question, well I have loads but I'll stick to one, for now. As Admin where do I see the user IP addresses? On Vbulletin which I was using before, when I click 'Online Members' (or look in their profile in admin cp) I could see all online and offline member IP's but I can't on Xen Foro?

I saw where one can enable IP addresses being viewable and I set the permissions for admins to view ips but when I click 'Members Online Now' I don't see anything. What am I missing? Thanks.

Nothing, that I can see... as far as I can see making IP addresses viewable adds in IP link next the Edit, Delete and Report links.

OK so to be able to see the IPs of Guests is not a feature yet? Thanks.

This is awesome! Thank you for having this in beta 2.
However, clicking on the ip takes over 4 seconds on my site to get the overlay to give any results. It's horribly slow for me.

I am guessing that delay is from resolving the host names. Perhaps the host names should require an additional click to display.

Not so far as I can see. The ability to view a visitors IP address and user agent is one feature I do miss.

So a suspected Spammer has to post before I can Ban him by IP?

The spam cleaner is available on member cards and profiles.

Now that one your going to have to show me. I see IP no where on profiles or Member Cards. I am not saying it is not there. I just do not see it.

 

[Paul B]

The Spam cleaner link only appears until the member has passed the criteria with regards to number of messages, days since registration, etc.

 

[x626xBlack]

Ok that explains it. I converted my vB4 data base and IPs or the SPAM Cleaner are no longer available. Thanks!

 

[Paul B]

The IP link is always available in posts.
If you want the Spam cleaner to be available all the time then set all criteria to 0.

That's great news...

Does the current visitor page auto refresh?

No, you need to manually refresh.

Do we have to turn this on somewhere? I just upgraded to beta3 and am not seeing IP addresses on the "Current Visitors" page?

 

[Floris]

All the guests on the members' online page are on ip 127.255.255.255 lol

Make sure you have set the permissions accordingly.

If the permission is set to inherit (which could be no) or deny (which is no) then the link to [IP] shouldn't even show? And if it does, clicking it should be 'no permission' instead of an invalid ip. or at least 'empty'.

As far as I can tell, I've set permissions so that mods/admin can see IPs on posts but I can't see how to set it so they show up on who's online... Can anyone tell me how to do this?
