IP Address

So I moderate a site and need to ban a member by their IP addy as well as their email addy. I have done the email ban but that won't stop him from joining under a new email addy. Anyone know how to get an IP address?

If you have a moderator control panel, you should be able to find their IP address there. Thats how VBulletin works anyway.

What site btw?

It's a PHP

Is there a Mod CP? Check under the user profile.

Meh...I'm gonna have to download a whois program I guess...hoping someone will see this who already has it (and knows how the heck to use it) and help me out...

Ask your site's admins. They're the ones that will have to do the IP-ban anyways, unless they were irresponsible enough to give you IP-ban rights, without the tools to get it right.

Meh, he's in Iowa right now... it's a haunt site, we go around the dfw area and review all of the haunted houses so peeps don't waste their money on crappy ones...

moderators cant ban on PHP unless they have access to the administation panel.


anyways' to find the IP, In the upper right hand corner of the poster post, there will be a image like this: http://elitrix.net/everythingauto/templates/blueGray/images/lang_english/icon_ip.gif click on it, it will give you the IP of the poster.

Now assuming you have access to the admin panel.

go to the admin panel,scroll down to ban control, click it. Put in username/ip/email address and click submit.

that's it.

SWEEETTTTT!! Thanks Josh...duh huh? That's what I was missing! You rock!!

glad I could help out :)
