IP logging turned on?
I just noticed that all posts now have a tag at the end that says: "IP: logged". Was that just turned on in light of recent um events on FT? Or has it always been on and I've just never noticed it?

It means that everytime anyone posts something now the IP address you are posting from is logged.

Please don't panic. Yes, I decided to turn the IP logging on in order to keep track of the...um, "situation". 
No one but the staff here in house can see this information and your privacy is protected. You have my word. Sorry to have to do it but I felt the situation warranted it.
As soon as we have the situation in hand again we'll go back to the honor system. Sorry for the inconvenince.

UBB is a terrific piece of software, but there's no kill-file utility. Shame, yes. But that's the trade off for a GUI-groovy interface. <g>
...hey, if you can show me where to tweak it, I'd be darn grateful. UBB adminstration is tricky. :/

While I am typically a staunch civil libertarian, I think in this case, IP logging is probably the least restrictive means of achieving the "compelling" state, er, FT interest of keeping the forum free of obscenity.
IP logging is a winner in my book.
Thanks Michael,
