Question Here Guys ( Any Help Would Be Great )

[XxRedxNeckxX]

How can i hide everybody's ip address from each other? A member of my site asked me if could hide it. Any help would be great

I took a look at Display.template.php and the area where the IP address appears is  this:

Code Select Expand

// Show the IP to this user for this post - because you can moderate?
if ($context['can_moderate_forum'] && !empty($message['member']['ip']))
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=', !empty($message['member']['is_guest']) ? 'trackip' : 'profile;area=tracking;sa=ip;u=' . $message['member']['id'], ';searchip=', $message['member']['ip'], '">', $message['member']['ip'], '</a> <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=helpadmin;help=see_admin_ip" onclick="return reqWin(this.href);" class="help">(?)</a>';
// Or, should we show it because this is you?
elseif ($message['can_see_ip'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=helpadmin;help=see_member_ip" onclick="return reqWin(this.href);" class="help">', $message['member']['ip'], '</a>';
// Okay, are you at least logged in?  Then we can show something about why IPs are logged...
elseif (!$context['user']['is_guest'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=helpadmin;help=see_member_ip" onclick="return reqWin(this.href);" class="help">', $txt['logged'], '</a>';
// Otherwise, you see NOTHING!
else
echo '
', $txt['logged'];

I think I'm a moderator here and I don't even see your IP, I just see Logged.

The ip is only visible to admins and the individual user.
