Hi everyone,

If you post on a moderated board, the moderator can see your IP address as well as the administrators.

The admins use the IP address to keep spammers and delinquents from ruining this forum.

PHP Code:


			
<?php echo $REMOTE_ADDR; ?>

that gets submitted in a hidden field probably along with your post

Yeah ...on some Forums the admin has enabled public to see everyones ip

My IP goes through a server cache thing So If anybody else in the same area as me went onto this site they would have the same IP right? I dont understand what this server cache thing is

yes, but my internet goes through an ntl cache, so on most websites where it says it logs your ip or tells you what yoour ip is, they mostly come up with the cache and not my actual ip.
