Board Upgrade

IP Address has been added to members' profile pages, under the email address. If someone would, please check to see if it displays for you. Thanks.

Okay, so far, I've coded the Members' profile pages to display both email and IP address. That leaves:

1. Adding the Warn status under the Avatar. Unless zoogies already has that figured out, I'll have to poke around and see whether that's possible. Not sure why it was removed - handy feature for sure. Coding that could be a problem, though, if IP.Board entirely removed the functionality, so I think this one will take some time.

2. Warn reasons, suspension, et al. We can change the reasons easily, and we can modify the "punishments" as well. What we need is a comprehensive list of violations - but broadly. Flaming, Trolling, Personal Attack, etc. I think I can also create an "Other" category that will allow us to just enter the reason if it isn't on the list of specifics. Also, it appears we can add suspension as an option - it'll be tied to points, so I'll see if I can do it for the existing reasons until we have our list set up.

So, if everyone would get to work on reasons for warnings, that would be great. I would prefer that a new topic be created to make it easier to locate them and check them off as they get done, so I'll start that topic now.

Anything else?

EDIT: Suspension has been added for any warning that results in a point being assigned. So, we're down to the warning reasons list and putting the warning status under the avatars.

Okay, another fix. When you hover your mouse over a member's name (a hyper-linked name) you get a pop up. You all should now be able to see both the email address and the IP address of that member in their popup, just as you would if you went to their profile page.

 
Seems like only a few actually display the IP when you put the mouse on the name. Most just have IP but no address, although both Mavric and I have addresses shown.

we be special.

This is preliminary only, but it appears that those members with no IP displaying are people using a proxy and that have a LOT of IP address history. Makes me think there is some kind of limit on the display.

Alex, what I used was the "ip_address" function in the profileModern template, starting at line 222. Do you know if there is a better function to use, or some code to limit the display to the most recent?

Is there some way to default the IP to whatever they used to sign up? I see the IP for every post, and that's useful, but for new members who don't post yet, or just post Status Updates, if we could see the IP from which they initially registered, that would be helpful in determining if they're a formerly banned member trying to come back, or a spammer.

Am I missing the control panel that lets Moderators suspend people? BrayWyatt (finlay22) got his third warning today, this time for a personal attack. I'd like to suspend him, but near as I can tell the only punitive thing I can do right now is to remove his ability to post status updates.

Click the Warn button on that page, then select a warning reason. At the bottom you will see the "automatic" punishment. Just below that, in small type, is a hyperlink that allows you to change the punishment. Click it, and you will get the full range, including suspension.

I'm sure it's possible. May take a while to figure out how to code it. But definitely something we need - and it may fix the problem of IPs not displaying when someone posts through a proxy and has multiple IPs. So...working on it.
