hello everyone i am running 9.2 and i noticed that if i assign someone mod access to a certain board that when they are in that certain board they can see the ip addresses of the users that posted within that board. i also noticed that moderators can see any users ip address also. how can i make it so just the admin and the admin only, can see ip addresses of users and for everyone else it would show up as l'ogged'. i dont know if its a bug or if this is a intented feature. thanks for help

Don't make them moderators.  Put them into a group and just assign moderator abilities to them.  Mods over a board always are able to see IP addresses.

but what if i only want them to moderate one board instead of the whole site?

Mods can only see IP's of users who post on their boards.

Quoted from admin

Mods can only see IP's of users who post on their boards.

i know. i want to prevent them from seeing ANY IP address from anybody period. how can i go about doing this if there is a way? thanks

Search for this in MessageDisplay.pl:

Code if($members{'Administrator',$username} || $ipon) { $ipaddr = qq~<a href="$scripturl/v-mod/a-ban/ip-$ipaddr/m-$messid/">$ipaddr</a>~; }

Replace with:

Code if($members{'Administrator',$username}) { $ipaddr = qq~<a href="$scripturl/v-mod/a-ban/ip-$ipaddr/m-$messid/">$ipaddr</a>~; }

thanks. will this code still allow admin to view IP addresses?

Ya.
