    Hey,

    Is it possible to remove IP's from the 'Search Users IP's' function please?

    Many Thanks

      In another Thread Floris said you can set IP Logging so that only admins and moderators can view them. This should also prevent anyone but admins and moderators from "searching" them:

      "Admin Control Panel > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Message Posting and Editing Options > (last one) Log IP Addresses > Display, but require administrator or moderator

      For security reasons, you may wish to display the IP address of the person posting a message.

      If this setting is set to Do Not Log IP, no IPs will be logged when messages are posted. If set to Display, But Require Admin or Mod, then the IP will be logged and an administrator or moderator with permission can view it. Display Publicly will show the IP on the post itself for all to see."

      Hope this helps.

      Regards,

        Not even by querying?

        Thanks

          Sure, you can delete IPs from the database with a query if you want. That is not a default vB feature though.

            What query would I run to delete all IPs for a specific user?

              Found this:

              UPDATE post
              SET ipaddress='127.0.0.1'
              WHERE userid = XX
              That worked for me.
