Where did this feature go on 10.3.5??? I cant find it in the Admin Center, nor on the member profile (where it used to be).

This feature was removed as it wasn't that accurate or useful.  

It wasn't accurate? How come?

I'd found it very useful for instance when a user asked about a laptop repair, if it wasn't something that i could help with over a forum i.e it needed physical work to be done, I could check their rough location and suggest local repair shops for them to go to, using my experience to pick out a good one.

There are loads of uses for it.

If it could be improved and implemented in the next release that would be wonderful! ;)

I found it very useful also; for checking for members with more than one account.

Also while I'm on I've just noticed that the 'Report to Admin' on a PM has gone. Is this away too Justin??? :(

Code for checking for members with more than one account

Be careful about this.  Schools, businesses, and home networks will hide their users behind a select few IP addresses.
Additionally most ISPs do not assign their users a static IP address, therefore the address they use today will not be the same as the one used tomorrow, rendering the IP address almost useless.

A more meaningful identifier would be to retrieve the MAC address, which I do not believe is automatically transmitted through TCP/IP protocols.

I know what you're saying and nothing is full proof, but it really helped me as a starting point to put two and two together.

What I always thought, if IPs are so variable (as they are), what is the point in the Ban IP Address function?

Justin is it a lot of code to put the IP finder back in - and also the Report PM! because these are two things that were really useful to me, and I sorely miss them.

I liked the IP address finder as well. It was really helpful when I had to look up an IP address for a spammer. I know that if a spammer was smart, they would change their IP each time they post, but it still helped to some extent. You might be able to implement a way to log host names like the ones given by an ISP. That would only work if each person had a unique host name from their ISP however.

It wouldn't be too difficult to readd from an old version that has it.  There's a lot of things that have changed though, so there is bound to be problems with trying to reimplement it.

just add site meter to ur index html , its is good to trace ip and domian of guest or members.. its free and nice

Wouldn't be difficult? But lots of things that have changed??

What about the reporting PMs??

PM reporting was a broken feature in early versions, and adding it now would be bad.

Maybe Martin or someone could make the IP finder a mod or something.  The same old sub routine would probably still work; however, the references (links) would have to be rebuilt.

Actually, there would need to be a LITTLE modification due to the Administrator Center being controlled by access lists now, but still, it wouldn't be that difficult to add.

Please someone do this.

These two little things are that important I really wish I hadn't updated my forum - is there a way to downgrade?

Downgrading 10.x to 10.x should be ok.  But you'll lose any security fixes ...
