[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1269289, member: 28388"] Weird necropost. Just to address the bogus claim from 7 years ago above that there are programs that can read the IP address from any forum...it's BS. Admins can read the IP and depending on the permissions set most forum software can allow mods to see IPs, but third parties (aside from the web host) cannot read IP addresses from forum posts without either hacking the sql database or using a cross site scripting attack which would only work if there were an identified unpatched vulnerability.
