Lets just point out that when you join a forum you agree to allow the staff to moderate & generally run the forum as they see fit to protect the forum.ilovesports said:to site mods i do stay in scotland and my internet service comes from talk talk uk so smart talk gets you no were
The different addresses aren't just because he's using Opera Turbo, are they? hxxp://help.opera.com/Windows/10.20/en/turbo.htmlnano said:This forum logs IP addresses, the IP address that you made the last post from resolved in Norway.

Blimey you get around don't you. According to the IP address your in Switzerland now
That says to me you are either using a proxy server or using software to mask your IP address. I'd love to know what your upto?
Every forum (or certainly the main ones) has this facility, it's to enable spam control.Juan69 said:Clever stuff. How are you able to see the IP?
I take the point, but in this case I'm not convinced that the different addresses mean that he is up to no good. I've just tested with Opera on my phone - I go to a reverse lookup site and it tells me I'm in Norway, not in France. I test it using Opera on my PC - it tells me France. I then turn on Turbo in Opera - it tells me Sweden. I think he's using ordinary Opera functionality and Opera's turbo proxies are bouncing him around as the fancy takes them. I make no judgement about his politeness, howeverAnaloguesat said:Only staff can see the IP's
Most of the time we arent interested in them, but if something odd crops up we can check where the post originates from. Its a common spammer tactic to claim to be in the USA but their post originates from Brazil, India or other place - wherever the compromised computer they are using is located.
It's just occurred to me that I connect from different countries on a daily basis....Tivù said:I suspect we all agree with your conclusions, HB: Every one!
